I don't think its so hard, you just tell your truth with kindness and conviction. You need to attend to your needs and your welfare. Its about you not the other person. The hard part may be in believing you are worthy of getting your needs met, focusing on yourself and possibly hurting someone else in order to quit being hurt. The hardest part of being a codependent is realizing that you are who you will be with the longest and it is you who you must give the most attention and care. To center on yourself is not to be self-centered. It is what healthy relationships are about.
"You can explore the universe looking for somebody who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and you will not find that person anywhere."
