Haha, no I have never heard that Mouse!
I see what you are saying but co dependency is not what I am doing, I am not trying to rescue people or trying to save them by controlling them. I am just feeling their pain too much and bottling it up inside me. I need to find a healthy way to release it and my own pain.
