What is Codependency?

Codependency
The gift that keeps on Guilting
Codependency is very hard to define because it reveals itself in so many different ways but we know that it is a lifestyle whose overt symptoms often include manipulations, people pleasing, controlling, withdrawal, agoraphobia, panic attacks, inflexible rules, and depression. Codependency is a serious illness of mind and spirit that must be acknowledged and treated to avoid the devastation of personal relationships that often are associated with it.

What Others are saying
Living with another person is hard work, especially if that person was raised in a dysfunctional home. In a "Husband's Guide to Understanding Co-Dependence", Don Scouten talks about this very serious topic in a funny, easy to understand, and respectful way. Because codependent people have a hard time trusting others, have poor boundaries and often see things in black and white, honest attempts to give praise or express love for them are often met with suspicion. Don describes in his book the lessons he learned over 30 years of marriage that helped his wife "hear" what he was really saying. This aided in her recovery and allowed their relationship to flourish. I recommend this book to any man wanting a more loving relationship with his wife.

Thank you for the lessons I have learned in the process.

Why what you are doing is likely to be all wrong
A codependent's global view is likely to be dominated by themes of trust and control and her skills of detecting anything untrustworthy are finely honed. Any attempt to flatter or impress is likely to be read as untrustworthy and reduce your credibility. Furthermore any attempt to help or direct her to a healthier lifestyle is likely to be met with great resistance and disdain since it has the appearance of an effort to control her. Many examples of such misguided but well intentioned interactions are described in this book.
Is it likely that You need this book?
