i think the codependent thing has me all confused. they are afraid to ask for things and expect you to mind read. i don't play those games.
but couple that with "don't believe 100% of what you hear, believe less than 50% of what you see".
that makes it even more difficult for me. what is my 180? be independent or not? i once asked him about hooking up my tv and he replied "ask your brother. i'm sure he can help you."
