What can I say? I agree with Rick that the whole codependency thing is a joke, always was and always will be. I confess too that I give him only four stars as he's part of the profession that has been somewhat responsible for perpetuating the codependency scare.In reality, codependency is a way of white largely women from relatively affluent backgrounds to make themselves into victims. Then they can go to meetings and "help each other out."Fortunately, I think the "condition's" heyday is long gone. Like the "men's movement," it's now surviving on it's long term "victims."Anyway, this is fun. Read it and don't bother with the Beattie screeds.
