Thoughts That Touch My Heart

"Co-dependent women (and men) seek partners who are needy in some way. He might be sick, unemployed, and addicted, or he might be a cruel, controlling over-achiever. Regardless of the specific "need" of the man, the co-dependent woman sees him as someone she can "help," which she believes will give her the upper hand in the relationship. She believes that in such a situation, the man will become dependent upon her, and she won't have to worry about the man leaving her. No matter how many times she sets up this type of scenario and sees it fail, she's still compelled to try it. It's all she knows."-Kitten Kristine Jackson
