[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 662731, member: 13542"] Thanks Tanya. I believe that to be true. I approached my own codependency that way which is why I entered that 2 year long codependency program which is what ultimately made the difference for me. It feels like an addiction to me in that not acting on the impulse to enable is like trying to stop a runaway train....the "fix" for me, was to enable, to help, to rescue. For me, I needed professional help. The dysfunctional behavior was within ME and I needed to address that first. Once I began healing, everything began changing. For me, it was clearly an "inside job." And, interestingly, my daughter changed towards me and our relationship completely changed. Seeing it that way gave me the power to change. Seeing it as another's issue and waiting for them to change is a powerless and negative place to be. [/QUOTE]
