Eldest daughter syndrome
Let’s talk childhood and family: Being the only daughter and eldest child of an immigrant family, I’ve experienced my share of trauma bonds and growing pains. Living in the US as both an Iranian Armenian and an American, I’ve had a less common set of experiences as a self-made entrepreneur and as someone who has taken it upon myself to care for my family as an adult. We’ll talk through some of my pivotal experiences as the eldest daughter of an immigrant family and how that’s affected my journey to closure and a fulfilled life.
