Co-dependency is a bitch and possibly like me - you don't even realize it until it's too late. Storytime, ya'll - here is a background story that most folks won't talk about, admit, or say openly. After all, it is a very private and personal experience, but keeping some things to ourselves doesn't help others realize that they're not alone in feeling the same way. If this story relates to ONE person, then, yes, you're not alone in how you feel, and telling this story was worth it. As we...
