If it hurts you to help someone,
but you do it anyways...
because there's no way to negotiate
(or re-nagotiate as the case may be)
& tell them that it doesn't feel good
you are being codependant.
Whether you can't negotiate
(or re-nagotiate as the case may be)
because of:
emotional manipulations,
drug &/or alchohol abuse
violent threats or deeds
abuse on any level
&/or our own fears & blocks
it's still codependant behaviors &
is begging us for an upgrade to it.
