Oddly enough, today I found a book review I did on the book "Women Who Love Too Much" by Robin Norwood back in college. This was the same year I got envolved with my A, and that fact really struck me. This is just crazy. I should have known something was wrong. Wierd that I picked a book with this subject, and I met my A shortly after.
That is amazing....I love looking back like that, tho it can be tough. Strange how we can hear a message we need to hear loud and clear, but still fall into behaviors that deny it.
I think Robin Norwood was a pioneer. At the same time I do really believe codependency is a long hard road to recover from. Now you do see the red flags that is so so key. I work pretty hard on being "aware" these days.
