My control issues are the main thing I'm working on. Does anyone have any good book recommendations on that subject?
I haven't read it, but a lot of people here recommend "Codependent No More". Here's a blurb from Wiki about the book content:
Quote:
The term codependent originated as a way to describe people who use relationships with others as their sole source of value and identity. It comes directly out of Alcoholics Anonymous, part of a dawning realization that the problem was not solely the addict, but also the family and friends who constitute a network for the alcoholic. Codependents often end up in relationships with drug (including alcohol) addicted spouses or lovers. In the book, Beattie explains that a codependent is a person who believes their happiness is derived from other people or one person in particular, and eventually the codependent becomes obsessed with controlling the behavior of the people/person that they believe is making them happy.
