This is all stuff I remember hearing about and speaking about at Nar-anon meetings in my experience. Additionally, the book “Facing Codependence” by Pia Mellody had a lot of information I still use to this day to answer these kinds of questions for myself (because, at least in my opinion, the answers vary person-to-person and you have to figure out *your* answers and hold true to them).
