Suggest me a book about parentification.
Recently going through setting rigid boundaries with my mother related to her trauma dumping about home life on me. I, myself, am a therapist. This makes it difficult because I feel like I am being the parent and she is the child. I feel sadness, disappointment, anger and I would love insight from a book on how to navigate these feelings.
Thanks ❤️

It’s not specifically about parentification, but have you read *Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents* by Gibson?
What about any of Beattie’s works on codependency since so much of that involves setting boundaries? I skimmed a few sections, but still found *Codependent No More* to be very helpful.
