I wasn't really sure what that meant, until I did some research on it lately...It seems that I have some of the signs of being Co-dependant...I don't have a problem sticking up for myself, although I did when I was younger, but I do fit some of the other traits...I'm always the first person to cook and offer food, or try to comfort someone I feel is in need...especially someone I'm falling for...I used to try to be as accomadating as possible...even second guess what I said to make sure I didn't turn them off in some way...or I would go over conversations to make sure everything I said was okay, stuff like that..I see it says that this condition was rooted in childhood, and that makes sense to me because I grew up with an alcoholic father and a skitzophrenic uncle...I was always told to keep "peace" and not provoke them...That might be an indication of the people I have been attracted to since my mid-twenties...I was never really attracted to people who were bad for me when I was younger...it started a few years ago...If anyone else has co-dependant issues, I'd like you to share...Did you go to therapy for it? And if you did, did it help in your next relationship? Any input is appreciated.
