Tales of Parentification from Latina

Eldest Daughters

in Medicine

“There are differences based on sex or gender that can make things a little harder for females in particular. Especially when you factor in the oppressive systems under which we live. In our society, they expect so much of us. Stress and expectations can really push us to our edge. We can become overwhelmed by the anxiety or depression that could come or result from that. We can’t buy into the false idea of perfectionism.”

– Dr. Lillian Polanco-Roman
