i read a message and the person seemed very similar to myself in that she was co dependent. How do i find out more about this. I wrote in my journal today about the current state of my marriage and how terrified i am at being alone. i have never lived on my own.
I so want to change and stop being me! can anyone help? Where do i start? Posted on 09/16/08, 08:09 am |

I'm going through the same thing you are! I just moved out three months ago from my husband of 12 years. Some days I want to work it out, others I realize how it's mostly my codependency saying I can't make it or be alone. Have you read Codependent No More? I'm in the process of reading it and it was an eye opener for me. But I'm also looking for more and am new here also.

i am a bit confused by this co dependency thing. I know i like to be in control and i try to fight any jealousy that i have when my husband goes out with friends etc. My question is : If you read my journal (not todays but yesterdays) am i in the wrong? Is it ok he puts football before me ? should i not be upset by him listening to it instead of walking and talking with me?, Is this me being controlling again? Maybe it is me and i am just a nightmare to live with and expect too much???

FACING LOVE ADDICTION IS ALSO ANOTHER AWESOME READ. I STRUGGLED W/ CODEPENDENCY AND WHEN I READ THAT, I ALSO FOUND OUT I WAS ADDICTED TO MY EX HUSBAND AND THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP. IT'S CRAZY TO SEE THAT WE THRIVE ON DRAMA.
