“Codependents usually learn how to be self-sufficient in life, and this is because no one ever took care of them as a child. Their emotional needs were denied right at their faces. Even if some of them are aware of their needs, they feel humiliated to ask for help from someone else.”

“Surrendering yourself, or the idea of it can be daunting to codependents because they come from a place of neglect and abuse. But, on the other hand, trust is not built in a day. It is a process, and in order to move towards it, you have to learn to let go. Reality is more often than not painful. Even if everything is going well, there will be moments when you will think that something is missing, but that is okay. Your life is not meant to be perfect. You need to accept everything realistically because only then can you live effectively. But letting go doesn’t mean you should not make goals. It simply means that you should not try to control the outcomes.”

“When children do not receive the attention they deserve, they often grow up to ignore their own feelings. They start suppressing all their thoughts and needs. When no one pays attention to them, they start thinking what use would it be to bother about expressing their needs and feelings. In extreme cases, it also happens that the child shuts himself/herself off because they fear they will be punished for speaking up. Since parents fail to take up any kind of responsibility whatsoever, the children start blaming themselves for everything wrong and take responsibility for their parents’ mistakes. This behavior torments them for their entire life, and all their future relationships are plagued by this.”
