before I go on, what the heck is "emotional incest with [your] parents" ?
Meaning what? That One parent relied on her more than he/she should have for "emotional" support?
(That's^^^ Not rare at all.)
"Incest" implies a sexual dimension to the relationship. Such Inflammatory terms...
Is this a diagnosis someone made? And what does it have to do with today?
Okay - now I'll finish the post.
Yes, it's a proper term, a.k.a. covert sexual abuse. It involves the indirect yet sexualized, emotional abuse of a child or dependent. While no physical boundaries have been crossed and no direct sexual contact has been perpetrated, the parents willingly enlist the emotional support of the child in healing his/her own unmet adult needs (my wife's mom were teens when they married; her mom was physically abused by her father also). In turn, the child becomes the confidant or emotional spouse of a same- sex or opposite sex parent.
