Realizing I was a parentified daughter growing up...

Title says it all :,) I didn't realize there was a name for my upbringing, nor did I realize what I went through growing up was NOT normal. I feel weirdly validated, confused, and at peace with what I went through.

This being said, when and how did you come to terms with your past and upbringing? How did you heal? Did therapy help? Do things get better? :,)
