A lot of the time as a codependent you get caught up in others lives. You become obsessed with another and you feel responsible for what happens in the others life. Your own life falls to the way side and you hardly notice. Your main concern sometimes is how your relationship appears to the outside world. It could be some time before you realize or even notice what has become of your inner world. You then realize the sacrifices you have made. As a codependent you don’t like to have anyone mad at you, so you continue to let things ride out as they are. |
