What would you like to see change in your family or yourself this New Year? Do you ever find yourself feeling like in many ways you’re the head of the household, though you are the child? Do you ever tell yourself “my parents sacrificed so much for me to be here, so I have to help them”? This is a difficult dynamic to change because your parents also need to recognize the pressure they are putting on you. It is important for you to start setting boundaries and limits to what you can and cannot do for your parents. It’s okay to say “I don’t know the answer. Can we figure this out together?” It is also important for you to find your own support when it comes to things that an “American” parent can help their child with, but yours aren’t able to. We need to have realistic expectations for ourselves and our parents. It may initially feel uncomfortable to seek out resources and support outside of the family, so give yourself grace and know that it is not all on you.
