I have work to do on this...after rereading this and reviwing some of my reading it is apparent that I continue in some areas of my life to play the victim. I''ll keep coming back.

Thank you Alston. Codependency has hurt my life as well. I see you coming a long way in your recovery journey. I don’t know if it is helpful, one of the Al-Anon pamphlets that helped me with it is The Merry-go-round Called Denial. It talks about the different roles we have and take on in the family illness. After reading it a couple of times it led to a big breakthrough of awareness for me.

The ground breaking work of Pia Melody about codependency is in her book Facing Codependency

What It Is, Where It Comes From, How It Sabotages Our Lives if you are interested.

Thanks Susan. I am familiar with both the pamphlet and the book. Both are great reads for anyone looking for more info on codependency! Thanks for the recommendation. :)
