If you’ve ever felt the need to morph into the person your parents wanted—constantly adapting your behavior to match their moods and expectations—you’re not alone. Many adults grapple with a complicated relationship with their parents, feeling torn between love and hate. This struggle often results in a disconnection from your true interests and identity, leaving you feeling trapped in roles that prioritize others’ happiness over your own.
