I am posting here simply cause there is more traffic...

We are in a tenuous recovery... actually going pretty good lately. I also have been reading more about co-dependency since the MC/IC has given FWH "homework" about co-dependence to work on (still don't think he has!!)

I realize that I fit the very definition of "co-dependent"... I am an adult child of an alcoholic/drug addict, a survivor of CSA and have various other demons... I am a co-dependent born & bred!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

How much does this play into being M'ed to someone who will have As on me? Am I staying to work on this cause I am "co-dependent" or cause I truly love my H and want this M to work??? (for the good and healthy reasons!)

This really bugs me!

How many other BS and/or WS consider themselves "co-dependent" and what can we do about it?! Is a certain degree of "co-dependence" healthy?

Twist him 'round 'round and tatter up a soul Handprint of God on the small of my back my second chance, my second chance. I'll bend a knee my friend, I'll bend a knee... Lay It Down say it's all my fault, all my fault. Say I believe, I believe lay it down. This the hour of my healing, of my healing, yeah my heart, my heart redeemed."

You might want to review what Dr. Harley has to say about co-dependency...
