Super DBer my ass!!!! LOL it's funny my mom is here and while that's been stressful it's made me realise how much she taught me about accepting people and being open minded (in her own weird way) and being positive. My dad was a dreamer and her hated that. But I got both of those traits.
You are creating a great you! Like bug says it was always there..."just waiting for this moment to arrive" I love that song! And good for you for recognising codependent people. I told a friend of mine what a guy had told me after one date and she said that's so sweet and I said no that's creepy. Plus because my son is old enough to notice things I want to set a good example.
