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...
Some DS members have asked for advice on how to communicate with a SO. Many have tried and recommended different approaches. Here is what worked for me:
I used to write letters. They always started with.. This is very important to me. Please read this twice: Once with your mind and once with your heart.
It worked for me.

I think that is a real good way to start the letter. I know one person that hates to get letters. She is a real good at verbal combating. And she knows it. She has to face others perceptions with letters, and she doesn't like that.
