I still can’t figure out why codependency has become such a popular term in counseling and mental health. In counseling and mental health we often focus on locus of control and say we cannot control other peoples emotions and behavior. Codependency seems like it is trying to shame and blame someone for something that is their partners responsibility which seems antithetical to personal empowerment and accountability. I wish the term codependency would go away. I really liked how Terri defined it as each person has their own responsibility. I am only responsible for myself and not for my partner only responsible to my partner.
I want to like and re-like this post. It has been such a helpful resource. It’s been so good for me to have this enlightened, grace-filled encouragement to send to friends in difficult marriages. THANK YOU.
