taking on father role for siblings

I've taken on a father role for my 3 younger siblings due to my stepfather's emotional absence.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to set boundaries and prioritize my own life."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't be afraid to ask for help and prioritize your own needs."
