Changeneeded,
Thank you very much. What you have said helped a lot, and it makes a lot of sense. It's amazing how things resurface, especially when you think you've handled it. I have conditioned myself to feel bad, and I think, over the years, people have capitalized on that.
Geesh, I was so busy dealing with being an addict, that I totally neglected being codependent...and this is the first time I have ever really admitted that to myself.
