“The main feature of codependency is that we learn to give up our sense of selves in order to have a relationship with others. And that’s where it becomes unhealthy.
If we don’t know who we are, and we are not connected to ourselves, we don’t know what our needs are nor what our boundaries are. As a result we expect our partners to be mind-readers.”
– Thais Gibson
