It's codependency, Tim.

It's an unconscious thing we do. You saw a damsel in distress and you sprung into action. I did the same thing. I always wanted W's approval, so I would do all kinds of stuff for her.

Over time, she was able to put it in cruise control because I was hooked.

I told IC "I can't even keep an alcoholic" and his jaw about hit the floor.

He responded, an alcoholic not in recovery can't have a relationship.

Just goes to show how warped my thinking is. My self esteem has taken a beating due to my codependency. Why in the hell did I put up with this for so long? A healthy man would of told W to go fly a kite once he saw her true colors.

But yet, I still love her. Go figure...
