Co-dependents put all their efforts into those around them, neglecting to fully take care of themselves, especially emotionally
Mental attention is focused on solving the problems of others or relieving their pain, and when these goals are accomplished, their self-esteem rises.
Co-dependents have unrealistic expectations of themselves, are unable to accept their own limitations, and use control and manipulation to avoid facing reality.
Continued investment of self-esteem in the ability to control both oneself and others in the face of serious adverse consequences.
Assumption of responsibility for meeting others' needs to the exclusion of acknowledging one's own.
Anxiety and boundary distortions around intimacy and separation.
Enmeshment in relationships with personality disordered, chemically dependent, other co-dependent, and/or impulse-disordered individuals.
......cuz if not, that is very scary and sad.....and I hope your HP opens your eyes....for YOUR benefit.... The big book....talks about the people who can't recover are the people who do not have the ability and/or the willingness to get HONEST WITH THEMSELVES.... I still don't understand why on God's green earth you would want to be with this woman EVER again.....Do you feel that lowly of yourself....that you won't pursue a relationship with a healthy woman who will LOVE YOU back! ....and a woman who doesn't have possible potential (after meth, after whoring around, after lieing, and after maybe finding your God)....but a woman who already possesses the qualities that you would want in a woman....if you felt worthy.
