Codependency Addiction

Self-healing through self-parenting, a concept introduced a generation ago, has helped thousands of adult children of alcoholics who are codependent and have conflicts in their primary relationships.

As a naturally caring and empathetic person, it can be hard to understand where your boundaries need to be set in order to maintain your own wellbeing.

In most relationships, one's existence and validation is needed for the other person to feel happy and complete.
