What Is Emotional Incest?
Emotional incest is when a parent doesn’t have any healthy boundary between themselves and their child. They rely on their child for emotional support and treat them like a partner instead of a child. Meaning that they may cry to their child about their divorce or a break up, even sharing sexually explicit details with their child treating them like a friend or even a spouse. This can be a huge burden on the child and make them feel pressure to “fix” whatever’s going on. In a perfect world, a child would be free to be a child, and socialize with other children. In an emotionally incestual relationship, a child often feels guilty if they leave their parent at home or knows just how much their parent needs them so they won’t engage in after school activities.
If a parent is sharing things that as a child you shouldn’t know, that’s a red flag. Now I know that may be hard to recognize, so ask your friends, and see what their parents share with them...
