It all depends on how old you are what you call insane. If you are a teen and you have been in trouble, I can see your mom contending with you. But if you are an adult and you are still contending with your mother who has had issues, that could be considered codependent.

@mashtee2003

I have made a video on this subject. Please click on the blue "At The Well Ministries" above and you can view the YouTube on Democrats and dysfunctional behavior.

I love your videos.

You can still improve yourself away from codependency no matter what stage of life you are in. It's never too late.

I have over half of these. My mom has more. I've tried to put distance between us, but then she's hurt & my dad gets mad at me for it.

I'm 16 so I can't move out until I finish high school. I can't tell them I need to get help because my mom would freak out and try to make me talk to her about it and if I told her the truth she would label me the evil villain attacking her, my father would side with her, and that's a fight I know I would loose.

And to top it all of, it's Mother's Day.

It is tough when you are 16 and trying to grow up, but at the same time must be dependent on your parents. I think you will need to just learn how not develop codependent habits with others and learn to cooperate with your parents until you are able to support yourself. It may seem your parents are messed up now, but you will find they are not that bad once you have to live on your own. If your mom is truly codependent, you will be able to stand against it once you become a mom.

i went through this with my mother. is that normal?

[cajuncurlzz]

Wow! I just learned that I am codependent!! At least now I have some clue so that I can do something about it! I was taught this behavior growing up!

No wonder I have depression,anxiety,lack of self worth etc. I just so happened to accidentally find your video! Thank God! Perhaps it was meant to be!

Thanks for the insight!

My mother is driving me insane now cause I told her, how cruel she has been mean to me. She keeps telling me that I am the one that is bad or wrong. It's insane.

I've only heard of this in the last week, I have a realative that has had serious mental health issues on one of these courses, they seem very limited in the UK though

I KNEW you were in CO from the pic, and you confirmed it! :D

Maybe this vid didn't have the reach you hoped for, maybe it did. But I just thought I'd let you know it's still helping people. I'd never heard of this before, but I can tell you it's pretty much like reading a book about who I was just a few short yrs ago. I wish I'd heard of it back then, it would have made building myself up as a person easier if I knew that's what it was that I was trying to do.

It's actually DEPRESSED to know that I have 7 out of the 10.
