Title: co-dependency
Post by: Sadly on August 26, 2015, 02:47:26 PM
 :thought: where can I find information about co-dependency please. Sorry if this is the wrong place but I am getting used to being here. I know there is something wrong with me and why the awful sad relationship with my ex pwBPD was allowed to continue for so long. I am as a lot of you know in a terrible pathetic state right now but something has just started ringing alarm bells.

Hi Sadly,

sorry to read your story here but getting some awareness is a really good start.

Try looking up CODA or Al Anon also www.hazelden.org/web/public/thought.view?catId=1904

I read this link daily and it helps.

Regards Surfer.

Hey Sadly,

In my own self-exploration, I found this book to be helpful: The human magnet syndrome. Other members have also endorsed it. Here is a link to watch a youtube video about it by the author.

I've also just begun reading this book: The White Knight Syndrome: Rescuing yourself from your need to rescue others.

www.amazon.com/The-White-Knight-Syndrome-Rescuing/dp/1572246243

Its been very illuminating.
