[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 737786, member: 19832"] Thanks. This article really resonated with me. I spent part of my childhood in another country with my parents and younger brother. Both of my parents were having affairs, and often left us unattended. I was nine years old and my brother only four. I was left with the responsibility of my brother, and we often roamed town wondering where they were. I was resilient and cared for my brother making sure he was safe. It turned me into the perfect codependent—needless and wantless, always focused on taking care of others. I have spent most of my adult life trying to unlearn codependency and to not feel guilty for setting boundaries and taking care of myself. [/QUOTE]
