Caring vs Co-Dependent

Caring vs Co-Dependent

People like to throw around terms they don’t really understand so I would just like to say that caring for someone is demonstrated by thoughtful actions based on personal boundaries. Co-dependence is emotion-driven action to “help” someone because you either think they can’t help themselves, you are afraid they will leave you if you don’t make sure they are happy, (usually that person is NEVER happy),  the object of your assistance is a drug addict, alcoholic,or other personality that is destructive to themselves and others so you will “fix” them.
If any of the last behaviors apply to you try this:

Today I will remember that I cannot control people with my loving attention, I can only love them and let them find their own path.
