In unhealthy or abusive relationships, often the wires get crossed. One partner takes on the role of a parent towards the other partner, whilst the other partner can react like a submissive or rebellious child within the relationship.
In a healthy relationship, both partners don't have roles. Both act like responsible adults who are independent, but feel safe and confident within the relationship.
