I had no idea that my codependency started at home until my AH went to rehab and I started Alanon! But what an eye opener right?
I only see my parents once a year, due to where we live, but now that my siblings and I are all grown and gone she has only one person left to control - My Dad! He is not an alcoholic but she tries to control every little thing he does - constant reminders of this and that and the other- it is exhausting to listen to!
With a little self help and some hard work I hope to break away from this pattern and live a healthier less codependent life for my kiddos!
