[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. It’s enmeshment; a form of emotional abuse.[/quote] Enmeshment is its own thing. Healthy adult children and their parents can have a more reciprocal and mutually supportive relationship than children have with parents. So many posters are describing unhealthy dynamics in childhood in this thread. I am so thankful that most of the elders in my family lived long and that I had the opportunity to know them well into my adulthood. Having a more equal relationship and one in which I could provide support was meaningful and satisfying to me. [/quote]
