I am a Recovering Codepentent
A codependent is someone with an unhealthy, fragile or distorted sense of self and poor personal boundaries. Without boundaries a codependent feels responsible for other people's feelings and behaviors. Since we feel responsible, we desperately try to control the behaviors and feelings of others - and this usually leads to difficult, painful and sometimes devastating life consequences. Codependency develops differently in each person, but usually results from unresolved pain, losses, hardships and physical or emotional traumas from our past. I am a grateful child of God who is recovering from codependency - among other things!
