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.

Hi, I'm new here. My family of origin has all died, and I live alone with my cat. I grew up with 4 adult alcoholics. Alcohol and drugs in my youth, I never quite made it to my own journey until 2010. When my true recovery started, was learning my son had been molested, a 2.5 year court process, and then 11days in hospital for severe depression and starting on Lamictal, today I'm 63.

I would like to find a male companion, a healthy relationship, haven't been in one for 16yrs. I'd like to have a better relationship with my son, and my friends...I'd like to like myself enough to create boundaries, not isolate, and find trust in myself and others. Hope I'm not asking for too much! ML

It's been some time since my last post...sorry. I've been going through a challenging time with the sale of my home, purchase of a condo and my adult asperger son that lives with me. I've had days where I couldn't get out of bed, days where I stayed in my pj's and days where all I managed to do was eat, drink fluids and take care of my Sweet Mia kitty. Sweet Mia came to me from a shelter about...
