Even if the dynamics was that of a father to a child, being emotionally responsible for an adult as a child would have some effects on you. Even if it was not a man to a woman dynamic, an adult depending on a child would have the same effect on the child. Being forced to be a grown up, when you are not yet ready, would have caused a resentment to being grown up. It is like being asked to do a 12 th standard math when you are a first grader at school. And it could have driven away the first grader from ever wanting to be a 12 th grader, because the first grader thought it was such a difficult thing.
