I'm here because I see parallels with the codependency issues--as I mentioned, I would score highly on the Al-Anon test!
Examples: Financial issues--absolutely. Can you say thousands in medical bills, doctor shopping, enabling parents, denial? I didn't smell breath but I did check to see if he was taking prescriptions (often for depression problems). I got him prescriptions and was driving him to the emergency room for NON-problems in the middle of the night. Holidays ruined--yes. Meals interrupted, yes yes.
Also, I cannot find anything for families of hypochondriacs--there is a forum for hypochondriacs, but not for people who are trying to deal with them.
I do NOT want to see our daughter go down the same path and want her to have healthy body awareness. It is important to me to try to make sure that I model healthy behaviors. So that is my #1 motivation.
