I definitely get it. My mom died when I was in my early twenties and my brother was 6. I became his main caregiver. He had angry fits in the beginning probably because he didn’t know how to process his loss now he doesn’t have them but he sometimes looks sad because life’s really hard. I want to keep him from the worlds harm, some things he shouldn’t have to worry about but then I get scared that I might die soon and want to get prepare him for a life without me. It’s hard trying to balance raising an independent kid but also one that can lean on others.
