[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 623118, member: 1550"] COM, you are very wise and have taught me a lot. Take that for what it is. You are ahead of me because, when my son was twenty-four, while I wasn't exactly in denial, I didn't even know what codependency meant or that I did it. Although I knew it was ok to put a wedge between myself and abusive family members, I did not understand that it was ok for me to have fun while my loved ones were suffering. I felt it was a betrayal for me to laugh when they were struggling. Looking back, it seems crazy, but my walk was long and quite a learning experience. I continue to learn. I am certain that I will never allow anyone to abuse me again. I have learned that boundaries are ok and that rational people will accept them with grace. I'm glad you joined us, COM. I also think BITS is a great addition. There are more...it's early...I can't think of everyone's handle. But we do have a very compassionate group of newcomers who have a lot to offer. [/QUOTE]
