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...
I`am a grandmaother of a beautiful little 4 year old girl who owns my heart. Her mother worries me to no end in regard to how she is raising the little one. Off and on I sought counseling to have someone to talk to regarding my daughter and her poor choices at the way she rages at the little one at times because things aren`t going her way or because she is without a man.Alanon seems to be most beneficial but it doesnt give me the one to one and I haven`t found a sponsor.
Most therapists have suggested I get social services involved but use to feel I could never do that. Lately I have come to the conclusion that maybe I should be thinking seriously about doing this.
I just started seeing this new counselor a couple of months ago and I have been telling her about my concerns and what I feel I might need to do. I told her I do not have a family who would support me and no friends around for support either. I asked her if she would support me if I did this and she said she couldnt take on that kind of responsibility. Okay, I can understand that.
Then she goes on to say, do you think you`ve been over reacting to situations? Well, I immediately began to doubt myself. I have a tendency to do this anyway. I said I don`t know, am I??
Now I`am wondering if she is the right person for me to be seeing.
How can I grow to feel more secure with myself and my actions if my therapist will say things that allows me to continue to feed the doubt.
Does anyone know what I mean?

That sounds a little strange that she thinks you are over reacting. Maybe you should just tell your daughter to get some help. She needs the counseling. Your grandaughter doesn't need verbal abuse. If this is bothering you so much you are going to a therapist then maybe you should go to social services. Hope you find some sort of real help. good luck.

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...
