The boot was on the other foot

I am working to recover from my co-dependency issues learnt growing in an abusive alcoholic home. I think it is going well.

Anyways I post this with little smile on my face. Today I encountered a co-dependent person trying to "save" me.

He only knows a little of my situation as regards my AH passing away but his man tried to come charging in, telling me how to move forward in my life, exactly what I should do. Asking intrusive questions (which I did not answer).

He was in full "knight in shining armour on a white horse" mode!! Him launching into all sorts of unasked for advice.

I was laughing to myself as I recognised myself in him. Hopefully my old self not my updated self.

Thing was though, it was really irritating. REALLY IRRITATING. To have someone telling me what to do. It is my journey not his!
