From what I have learned............

I have a radar for these type.

I am tired of worrying about you.

I want a man who cares...... who picks up where I leave off..... who can read my mind for a change...... who knows what I am thinkin'..... Who puts me to bed when I have had a few to many..... Who is a little "too co-dependant".... Who makes excuses for me..... Who tells everyone I am a great girl I just have a few too many cocktails and it's because of this or that....

Come on,

Who are we kidding......

Alcoholics are the most self centered people I know.

It's sad. My childhood was stolen by so many of them....

just felt like ranting.

Yep. See my post "Depressing realization".

This is why we must find our own happiness!

I strongly recommend Al-Anon and therapy. Codependents need to actively change or they will keep making the same mistakes. But with the right support you can do it!

I agree and can relate.

My childhood and the early part of my adulthood were stolen.

When I was a child I had no choice, it was unfortunately the family that I was born into.

However, I had to take responsibility for letting it continue as an adult. I was almost forty when it dawned on me that I was the only person who could control the direction of my life.

It's taking time, but it turns out that I'm a much better parent then either of my parents were :-)

Thank you for sharing and for letting me share.
