Hi MKB, Bug was nice and linked me to your message to me. No apology is necessary. You weren't ready to hear what I had to say and the way I said it was not right or you probably wouldn't have been offended.

It's all a journey. I remember when I first came on here, sandi2, after a long description of my sitch, asked me if I had read, "codependent no more".
I thought, what the heck! Why did she say that?! It's him that's the problem, not ME! Is she insinuating I have a personality disorder or am mentally ill or something?!

Months later, after lots of time on here, typing and, more importantly, reading, I ordered the book. Lo and behold, I fit the description to a tee! I then got a book on boundaries, too. I never set boundaries for myself and that led to lots of anger and resentment. I've learned A LOT but I'm still very much a newby.

It never ends but life does get better if we get better. Otherwise we will repeat and repeat and repeat the things that made us unhappy. I'm glad you and I found this place. I hope you're doing well.
