10 Signs You Are in a Codependent Relationship
Article from Psych Central
From the article appearing in PsychCentral by Michelle Horton for YourTango.com, she writes:
"Are you a codependent person?
“Ugh, I am so not a codependent person,” said the codependent person. “I’m way too independent and responsible to depend on another person like that. In fact, it’s all the other people in my life with the issues, and I’m stuck cleaning up their messes.”
I didn’t think I was a codependent person either, until I was slammed into reality one night in a Barnes & Noble aisle. There I was, sprawled under the four shelves labeled “Addiction,” desperately thumbing through each book with shiny streaks down my face."
