    “All my early memories are of my mom being an alcoholic. We lived in a pretty ghetto area. There was never food in the house. We stole electricity from the neighbors. Things were so bad that my dad got custody of us when I was five, but it wasn’t much better with him..."pic.twitter.com/sU7VnZKbLK

        It’s not that you want them to rely on you, you just want to be loved. The 2 are very different. I hope someday soon you find the healthy relationship you deserve. You deserved food, electricity and sober parents. I’m sorry you didn’t get that.

        I used to be like that, to a lesser degree. It's codependancy. You need self love and self compassion. Easier said than done. Good luck :) I have faith in you.

        Very familiar behavior unfortunately. My mother did the same to me. There are some fantastic resources on codependency and adult children of alcoholics which were super helpful for me.

        You have immense self awareness and that’s a good thing. You may even find out someday those aren’t the types of Relationships you want. I wish you well in life.

        Wow. Describes my ex to a T, except they have reached a point of self-awareness. I was not expecting them to realize how harmful that was to the person they were “saving” let alone themselves.

        Wow the fact that she is so honest about this, is a first step to healing. I hope she finds the strength as she deserves genuine love after all she has been through. Love that has no guilt nor shame.

        Now that you have all this amazing self-awareness you can work to change things. You can absolutely break the cycle of codependency and find healthier relationships. Good luck to you.
