Great post. I don't see it as woman bashing as much as codie bashing. And as a dyed in the wool super codependent I take no offense whatsoever. It's true! I sat in on an AA meeting & felt like everyone there was instantly my best friend. It was scary how easily I felt that way. I also feel the need to save every woman I see at meetings. It helps to realize it & back away. Recognize what is happening & not act upon it. But it is true, there is instant chemistry between me & an alcoholic woman, I don't see a difference if the genders were reversed. At least for codependents.
BTW, what kind of sandwich we talkin? I have a sawzall!
