You have always known something was different about your family.Not necessarily bad. Not obviously abusive.Just... intensely close.

The kind of close where the lines between your feelings and your parents' feelings have always been unclear. Where separating - emotionally, geographically - has always felt like a betrayal.

This is enmeshment. And it shapes identity, relationships, and wellbeing in ways most people never fully recognize.

Enmeshment
