Codependency Support Group
Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles. If you are on a journey towards self-love, this support group is for you. Join us and find others...
Hello, I am here as I am sure I am a co dependent. Not for certain but feel that my Mother (rest in Peace) was as well. My father and older brother were alcoholics and I was raised to believe the squeakiest wheel gets the grease. Neither drink now due to getting into treatment ( I was a teenager by then) but they went from one addiction to another.
I would say my addiction is "fixing.
I have only had a relationship (that I can recall) with one person that was NOT an addict or alcoholic and I married him. We divorced and since then, you guessed it, I have dated a succession of alcoholics and the last was an addict.
They have all been abusive, manipulative and have all cheated.
Just like Daddy dearest..it would be funny in its irony if it wasn't slowly killing me.
I am in my 40s, alone, no children and battle depression. I have been abused physically, emotionally and sexually and I guess I am just wondering if this is another place to find support.
Thanks for listening.
