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...

Why is it when I finally decide to do the right thing for me, I get the most resistance? I've been in a relationship my whole entire adult life and always living with my significant other. (Not just one partner, this has been a pattern...one to the next, etc.) I made the decision to move on my own in January and I can't believe the reactions I am getting. I have a man in my life who loves me and supports my decision to be single. We are parting ways as friends and who knows what the future holds. I need to know that I can pay my own mortgage, keep my home clean, cook for myself...just be alone with me. I can't continue on down this road of cohabitation without getting to know who I am first. I don't want to be half of any relationship anymore. I am complete within me and I want to prove this to myself. The reaction of the people closest to me is so disturbing. They all think I'm out of my tree! Why would I CHOOSE to be on my own and possibly even struggle a bit, when I have a man willing to support me. Why? Because I need to before I can ever move forward in a healthy relationship! How can I know who an ideal partner for me is when I don't even know who I am?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I did that a while back, and it was the best experience I ever had. It feels good to know that you can be self sufficient, and not need to cohabitate to survive. I wish you well. Find out who you are, then everything will get better.
we realize this when we do something healthy and get negative controlling responses!
keep on your path. it is yours, no one else's......
i like to just say "thank you for your opinion" and do what i know is right for me.
congratulations!!!!
As far as a relationship, if I even consider accepting an offer to go out for supper or whatever, I get anxious and obessive. That alone is enough to keep me single!
