I for (only) one want to respond with a question...how do you see the alcoholic's addiction(s)? Dependencies for me are my addictions without judgement as to whether they are right or wrong; good or bad. (((hug)))
I'm guessing it means something like being powerless over the fact that I'm dependent on others to some extent in this world, and that's just a fact, jack :P
Just thought I'd get others' experience on it.
I love Pushka's Maya Angelou quote, BTW. That sort of fits the thread!
...and many of us don't like to be dependent (or controlled) by others because of our childhoods/still toxic family members. And yet at the same time if we're not careful we can be exactly the same.
