There is so much to learn so you can grow and change,
I believe strongly in alanon and or CODA meetings. Many
Do therapy that helps, i did both.

There are books, youtube videos, life coaches on the subject.

Personally trying to retrain and reparent yourself is a huge task
And its not easy or simple process. It has not been for me, HUGS

Personally, I think if you 'want something enough' you will make the changes. "Avoid" "avoiding" actions and behaviors...accountability. Face the realities of your situation emotional/physical which lead to co-dependent behavior. The process to change is to focus on one area, so not to become overwhelmed. This work/change is not easy or fast. The best way is to get support, and learn how to create boundaries. Good luck. ml

Sweet Mia came to me from a shelter about...

    If I come to DS and it won't do anything when I click "Login", I go to a post, click and then click "Leave a Reply".  Then it will let me log in.Of course, sometimes DS just goes to "Error 504".  Then I can't log in.
