books about parentification
October 7, 2020 12:22 PM   Subscribe

I am seeking recommendations for books on parentification of children and the effect this can have in adulthood.

I would prefer to learn more about cases of parentification that happen in the case of a loss of a parent (via illness, addiction, or death) as opposed to cases of parentification that occur due to parents having poor emotional boundaries, though I do recognize that there can be overlap (my single overwhelmed parent sometimes lost track of the fact that I wasn't his peer because he was, well, overwhelmed). Basically I'd like to read more about how parentification manifests amidst parental loss, not how it manifests amidst mental health issues from otherwise present parents.

Thanks.
