Find yourself parenting

If you find yourself parenting another adult, it could indicate a boundary issue. While you should certainly be nurturing and compassionate, parenting another adult can lead to emotional dependence. If you find yourself parenting another adult, ask yourself - whose responsibility am I taking on? Am I empowering the other? Do I feel resentful at times? Am I enabling them to be a child in the relationship? How much of pressure does this put on me? Am I creating an emotional dependence on me? At certain times it might be beneficial to take on a nurturing role, but be mindful that you are not making the emotionally dependent on you.
