Anyone else feel sick when their kids are sick?

Does anyone else feel sick when their kids are sick? I swear every time my kids have the flu even if I don’t have it I still feel kinda sick to my stomach. My mom said it’s sympathy sickness and shes always had it when we were sick, but I googled it and can’t find anything about it. Does anyone else go through that? Kind of a weird question i know I’m just curious.

Yeap! But I legit think it’s our bodies fighting it off. Not in our heads most the time

Yes I do every time one gets sick I feel their pain it’s crazy I honestly never told anyone cause I thought it was all in my head. So glad I’m not the only one

Yes but I suffer with emetophobia - so I know the reasons why.
