The Caretaker

Parented my parents

Vigilant · Carrying · Self-erasing

You were a tiny adult before twelve. You spot a mood shift across rooms.

What this archetype looks like

You learned to watch the adults and manage their feelings. The good part is a strong emotional radar. You can read a room quickly and support people well. The hard part is that your identity may be built around taking care of others. When nobody is in crisis, you may not know what you want. What helps is choosing at least one relationship where you let yourself be noticed and supported too. You are allowed to be cared for, not only useful.
