Have you ever clung to a toxic relationship, believing that you have the power to love away that person’s pain, and the ability to fix their life?
Codependency is a debilitating disorder. It’s an addiction. The emotional disorder of codependency begins in childhood but it becomes evident when we begin to experience adult relationships. Codependents will often put others needs before their own while ignoring or discounting their own feelings, their own desires, and their own needs. It’s like the time I had accidentally found a syringe that my husband, who was supposed to be clean and sober, had hidden in a kitchen cabinet. The shock of seeing that needle sent me spiraling into panic, and when I confronted him he gave me his usual lame excuse. HERE’S WHERE MY CODEPENDENCY KICKED IN. I was devastated by the betrayal and overcome with my own pain, but…I told myself that I was stronger than he was--I’d be okay—it was him I had to worry about. I told myself that I’d just have to try harder to keep him happy… and I believed that if I loved him more and proved my devotion, he wouldn’t use again. At the time that made perfect sense to me. That‘s what I mean when I talk about clinging to a toxic relationship.
Those in codependent relationships are addicted to the pain and familiarity of a relationship that's toxic and unrewarding. In order for recovery to take place, patterns that have manifested themselves in the present must be dealt with first. The codependent must take responsibility for healing his or her self, regardless of what their partner chooses to do. Though codependency is an addiction, unlike many other addictions there is hope for a cure. They always have choices and can absolutely change their life.
