As someone recovering from co-dependency, I’ve observed this pattern in myself. I appreciate your essay because deconditioning requires hearing the same messages repeatedly, often for years. Thanks, Larry.

I know what you mean, Ryan. It's sort of like poetry, each time I hear the same message (poem) I have an opportunity to gain a new understanding and appreciation for it. Check out the video I will post on Wednesday... it share a bit about how I have made progress in changing the pattern of my relationships. -:)

Once you learn about the drama triangle, you see it playing out in so many relationships. Thank you Larry for this insightful piece.

Your welcome, Sue. We are fortunate in being able to help ourselves (and others) to move from being a Rescuer to being a Coach.
