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...

Was a very active participant in this group for several years. Have been posting more lately and not getting any responses. So am just stating what I am seeing. This group is for all not just those that are in the clique. We all have things to share and contribute and wish to be included. You all know how much we are affected by perceived or real rejection. So open this up to newcomers and returning members and include all. Thanks

Welcome back, Sassybabe.

I've read this comment now from a few other people :/

I'm fairly new to this board and so can't comment on what it use to be like. I know personally I could definitely make more of an effort to log in more often and comment more. Truthfully I'm still very new to codependency recovery that I'm struggling a LOT and don't feel I have a lot of insight to offer to others....but that's just me!

Hi There :)

Certainly hope I wasn't a culprit - so sorry if I was!!

I am a "troller" to be honest, I read posts and then if they resonate and I see myself in the post then I feel I have something to offer or if it really hits a chord with me then I share some commentary, if it doesn't I guess I don't respond as I don't know that it would be value add. But this post kind of points out that a simple "I hear you" would be validating enough in and of itself, so I will definitely take that into consideration for the future :)

I didn't see any of your posts except for some commentary lately, I may have missed them, but I will be on the lookout for your next one!! Just know, I have had a few posts with some crickets chirp....so I know exactly what you are talking about.

Welcome back and looking forward to hearing your story!

I know I can log in more often and comment on others posts, I'm just so crunched for time usually but I'll make more of an effort as well.

I agree with CoDa, I don't comment when I feel like I have no insight but thanks for the reminder that sometimes all we need is support :)

Please keep posting, would love to offer support!

I ebb and flow... All about my schedule. I sometimes catch up over the weekend.

I for one don't care WHO is posting; I just respond to things that resonate with me. Even my "favorite" people- if I don't have anything to say, I may just say "Hugs." If you post something I can relate to, I'll respond! : )

I hear you. I am not big on cliques either. I am guilty of not sharing. I had a bad experience in another group when someone said they didn't want to hear me share. It has taken me awhile to share again.

Thank you for starting this thread.

I'm trying to work up my nerve to share! Going through a divorce...to the drug addicted father of my children. Keep moving forward!

Welcome back,
I am sure no harm was meant by people not responding.
We are all brothers and sisters in this struggle.
Peace and love

thanks for all the responses. I really hoped for this type of response as I really knew in my heart it was not personal but maybe we all need a nudge to make sure we include everyone. and yes we are all busy and life is stressful. thanks

Hi Sassybabe11! Welcome back. I have been working way too much and just saw your post. I am fairly new to all this codependency stuff but will definately try harder to help others the best I can.! Hope your having a great day!
