Codependent's Inner Voice: "I Can't Live Without Him/Her"

[JenniferPHendrix]

I'm addicted to my addiction... a new concept for me. Yes, some people are like drugs for me.. and sometimes i feel the need to escape..

Yes I have transferred my addiction , I can no longer depend on people to fill my co dependent needs and so now I worship God , I finally found unconditional love ,acceptance and approval ! Tons and tons of it : ) now I don't feel the need to get IT from someone who hangs it over me like a drug, or from someone who resents how much love I need.

As far as I can see, its only a matter of financial support that binds so many.

Amazing advice. I am a Codependant and my Partner is a Narcissist. I have been a avid fan of Dr Vaknin for quite some time now and listen to each of his videos many times, I find the tips in these videos extremely helpful. I still do not feel the strength to leave, but I am more aware of why our relationship is what it is. Thank you again Dr Vaknin!

What occurred to me was that many people call that love. It is not really love. A person who knows that can get free. A person who does not will continue on trying to make it work. If only one of the 2 people are trying to make it work that doesn't end well.

Don't narcissists depend on others, to do their bidding?
