Encouragement for the Codependent
It's kind of weird having so much freedom and time that I sometimes find myself wondering what to do from here. I've always had to consider someone else in the scope of my plans, not that I had many, but on occasion, I did have a few. These days, I am free to do whatever... Continue Reading →
One of the most frustrating things for a recovering codependent is to watch someone, who knows nothing of codependency, dance the endless and exhausting dance. It doesn't matter how much you explain what is happening on the dance floor, because you are all too familiar with it, they still dance. Once again reminding me, that... Continue Reading →

Update: The blog my post was written for was taken down so you can read it here. Last month I started a Facebook page and a Twitter account for the Diary of a Recovering Codependent. I have a tiny following on each and I am so grateful for those of you who read my, sometimes... Continue Reading →
I was reading through some post on other blogs and came across this one, Geographic Relocation and Codependency, which made me start thinking. I have heard many people say how much they hate this place (whatever place they live) and want to move and start over. It amazes me when someone says, "The people here suck!"... Continue Reading →
Happy Independence Day! How appropriate to be writing this post on our Nation's birthday. This is the day our Nation declared its independence and so, it is also the day I declare my personal independence. I am no longer bound by the chains of pain and sadness! The last few days have been emotional and... Continue Reading →
