I accidentally became dependent on someone again and am feeling pretty upset and ashamed about it. I know there has been along history of it starting with family but the frustrating part is that I seem to take all these steps to become independent and end up in the same mess over and over again - - either fiercly independent or dependent. I am feeling really ashamed because everyone in this town has seen it happened and I feel that I am being judged for making such a fool of myself and I don't blame them. Would love to have others to talk to.
