When I was on my journey, Co-Dependency was a new word and idea. It still applies. It basically boils down to the concept – if you live with insanity, you have to go a little insane yourself to survive. Once you are out of the insane relationship, you have to look at, identify, and fix all the parts of you that went a little insane to cope. It doesn’t matter what kind of insane person you lived with – actual untreated mental illness, alcohol, drugs, or plain abuse – it’s all a type of insanity. They all leave scars. You have to look at the scars, figure out what is hurt, and fix them. All those kinds of insanity require you to adjust around them being the center of your universe - to be able to live with them. Those adjustments are the scars you have to heal.
