And all of a sudden l am classed as a 'co-dependant' well...no lm not, im just an ordinary woman who wants an ordinary life. Not a life where we all dance around a bottle.
I didn't mean to single you out at all and should have made 2 seperate posts,looking back..sorry about that.
So..what are YOU going to do to get to the life you want for yourself? I think a lot of the much needed self-reflection on exactly what we're going to do about our unhappiness gets lost on the 'labels' of the situations we find ourselves in. Whether,self-inflicted or from an outside person, our happiness comes down to what WE do about our situation(s).
