The Child Who Became the Adult
from Culture Conversations · host Dr. Ibn Sharif Shakoor
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I talk about parentification and what happens when children are forced to grow up too fast emotionally. I reflect on being taught to “be strong” for others at a young age, learning to neglect my own feelings, and carrying responsibility before fully understanding myself. This conversation explores survival, grief, self parenting, and the hidden cost of always being the strong one.
