Carlotta,
FANTASTIC thread, thank you. I have been this negative, defensive person for so long that detaching from bad emotions to memories of people, especially my older brother, is proving to be challenging to say the lest. Staying in the present moment, being aware of my feelings in the here and now, has really been hard to sustain for very long periods of time, but I am making progress. Never considered myself to be codependent, but truthfully don't know much about it, so gonna look into to it. Have a nice day, rootin for ya.
