How old were you when you began seeing your parents as people and not as a “parental entity”? But as a person with needs, flaws, fears, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, dreams etc.
I was in my 20’s.

Five years old.
That was when I had to get myself up for kindergarten, dress myself, and try to find breakfast and money for lunch (often none) by myself. My dad left for work at 5AM and my mom was incapable of getting up due to what I learned later was most likely depression, but at the time I just thought she was too tired to help me.
