Your are correct, however you are describing empathy here when the post is about how children become emotional regulators for abusive/absentee parents which becomes a lifelong and debilitating psychological issue for them as adults.

Empathy is best nurtured in a reciprocal manner especially during childhood development and it starts between the child and their caregiver(s).
