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...
Hi,
I thought this may be an interesting topic for sharing.
One thing that had programmed throughout my developmental years was acting as a parent with my adults.
The part I hated about it was that they were the ones who had the power, and I was aggravated so much by the craziness that I ended up feeling.
Of course I didn't know what was really happening at the time. This is one thing that conditioned me to act codependently in my adulthood.

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...
My father cheated on my mother and she cried on my shoulder every day through high school when I got home. If I wanted to eat I had to call her at work and tell her to bring home food and then I would sit and play therapist to her for the rest of the night. I am certain that this is a part of the reason I have the troubles I do today. I remember feeling like I was the mother and she was the child, but as you said I had no power to do anything really.
i guess there was a lack of boundaries in both of our families??
thanks for the tip mgs. i'll add it to the list.
