Codependent No More: How to stop controlling others and start caring for yourself Copy
Melody Beattie
This book is an oldie, but goodie (originally published in 1986)! When I started the divorce process, I immediately went to therapy to help navigate all that comes along with divorce emotionally. The first session I had with my therapist she stated that I was codependent with my then husband. I thought she was absolutely out of her mind! However, while reading this book most of what was stated I completely resonated with and felt that the author was describing me. This book discusses losing one's self while caring for others, which is exactly what I did in my marriage. I highly recommend reading this classic to help you unfold many layers of yourself, truly help you heal and get back to caring for the most important person, YOU.
