There was some good information in the chapter on the core symptoms of codependence but the rest of the book was a waste of time. Half of the book is dedicated to cataloging horrendous abuse which the author does not link back to codependence. Only one chapter focuses on healing/recovery and it lacks concrete information and actionable steps. I would recommend reading Beyond Codependency by Melody Beattie instead, as it’s more insightful and interesting.

This book is a hard read. It is filled with a lot of helpful information. You will find it applies to many different types of people but share similar experiences of trauma, depression, and anxiety.
Well worth taking time to read.

Brilliant and a light for those who suffer in their relationships, whether a mother, father, partner, or other.
