You’re allowed to outgrow the role your family cast you in.

Families hand out parts early: the responsible one, the funny one, the difficult one. Those labels were assigned before anyone knew who you would become, and they tend to stick because everybody’s lines depend on them. Stepping out of the part can feel like breaking something, even when the part never fit. You are not required to keep playing it for the comfort of the room.

Notice which version of yourself switches on when you walk through their door. Try one small deviation, like saying you are tired or asking for help. Expect some friction, and give it a few visits before you decide how it went.
