The Rescuer

You often provide deep care and generous support, stepping in to assist even when it is not requested. However, this might stem from a concern of fear or not being needed. This tendency can create difficulties in allowing independence and may lead to confusion when an adult child seeks distance. Providing help as a means of maintaining connection can impact boundaries and mutual growth.

Consideration for Improvement: Reflect on whether your assistance is driven by the needs of others or your own desire to feel needed. Developing an identity outside of the rescuer role can foster a healthier and more independent relationship.

The Peacekeeper

You prioritise harmony and prefer to avoid conflict. This often leads to suppressing your own needs, smoothing over tensions, or avoiding difficult conversations. Persistent peacekeeping can result in self-neglect.

Consideration for Improvement: It is acceptable to address issues if it promotes deeper understanding. Your perspective is important. Genuine connection begins with honest communication and mutual respect.

The Fixer

You excel at problem-solving and seek to alleviate pain. However, constantly intervening can imply that others are not capable of managing on their own. Your role may be tied to being the person who resolves issues.

Consideration for Improvement: Allow yourself to trust others to handle situations. Effective repair involves listening and shared responsibility. Reducing control can facilitate trust and collaboration.

The Awakening Parent

You are gaining clarity and adapting in your relationships. Instead of striving for perfection or avoiding challenges, you focus on honesty, grace, and growth. You understand the balance between love and boundaries.

Consideration for Improvement: Continue nurturing your own well-being while engaging with your adult child with presence, openness, and healthy boundaries. Recognise that development is a continuous process, and you are progressing appropriately.
