Isn't this just parentification?

This is behavioral therapy, which you could say is a responsive mode of "parenting" that is highly effective.

If it's healthy for you does it need a label?

The story sounds healthy enough. I'm mostly critical of the role of the actual parents. I may be over reaching here, but it sounds like the writer ended up taking up a responsibility that should have been taken by the parents in the first place. However, the situation sounds healthy enough and parentification has positive sides too!
