Parentification: Caregivers In Crisis
What you should know When Children Carry Adult Responsibilities. Every day, countless children step into roles meant for adults—managing households, caring for siblings, or supporting a struggling parent. They appear strong, capable, even “wise beyond their years.”
But behind that strength lies a hidden cost: the loss of childhood, unspoken stress, and emotional wounds that can last a lifetime. Parentification: Caregivers In Crisis exposes this overlooked reality and gives voice to the young caregivers society seldom sees. Through powerful stories and clear insight, Homer Hartage reveals how family systems collapse, why children step in, and what happens when their needs go unnoticed.
