Children with parents who somehow signed out.
Children who have to take charge. "

This image is about the adult children. Adult children are innocent children, adolescents and adults who have grown up in inappropriate or dysfunctional family patterns, where the environment and parental ability have been weakened by e.g. alcohol, illness or grief, which is why they take too much responsibility on their shoulders way too soon.
