I read this book years ago and it changed my life. I had never heard the word 'co-dependant' before and didn't know what it meant. This book helped me to recognize things I was doing unconciously that sabatoged my relationships with other people, with money, with myself.

It gave me the tools I needed to recognize and pull myself out of an emotionally abusive relationship and put me on a path to sanity and well being.

You may think that co-dependant people are only people who come from abusive or alcoholic homes, but this is not true. While alocholism and overtly abusive family life are among the top causes of co-dependancy, there are many others, including perfectionism [if you can't do it right, don't do it at all], chronic procrastination, unrecognized, misdiagnosed or mistreated mental health problems, or any form of additictive behavior. So you may be more co-dependant than you think.

If you are having a lot of problems within your relationships then you should give this book a read; it is sure to help you find answers to the problem.
