not everyone is yours to rescue
sometimes i see someone and a small voice inside me begs to come out to "help" them or "fix" them and i have to look inside me and tell the little girl who had to play therapist for her unstable parents that its not her job
#inner child healing#parentified child things#not my job to fix broken people#trauma response disguised as kindness#stop assigning me emotional labor#not everyone is mine to save#emotional caretaker burnout#therapist child support group#reparenting myself#healing from roles i never chose#she deserved to just be a kid
