I would like to understand this better. Are there any books that you recommend I should read?

hi dawn, i believe the book i used is "codpendent no more". also the headings up at the top of the forum has "books" and also "redources" that may help you too. i had a full dose of co-dependancy when i first went into therapy. hope this helps.

I also read that book, Co Dependent No More by Melody Beattie, and found it helpful. Check out amazon.com under Self Help & Codendency, they have a list of some good books, many you can buy used and very inexspensive.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
