  1. Are you over-responsible?
  2. Do you take responsibility for adults and fulfill their responsibilities?
  3. Do you parent adults? Because if you are over-responsible, that is what you are doing.

If your answer is yes to these questions, then you have learned to take responsibility for others. You have been conditioned to carry the weight of others’ responsibilities and to feel responsible for their emotional well-being. And as you learned this, you can unlearn it.

And why would you want to unravel and unlearn this process? 

So that you do not do things at your expense. And so that you are free of worries and concerns that are not yours to worry about. As well as you can grow your ability to support the growth of the people you have been responsible for, to grow their ability to take responsibility for themselves. And you liberate yourself of burdens that are not yours to carry.
