Have you ever defended someone's behavior while secretly knowing things were exactly as bad as others suspected? That's not loyalty—that's the slippery slope into codependency.
Drawing from my own painful journey, I open up about the fine line between standing by those we love and losing ourselves in the process. After my parents' divorce in my twenties, I was determined to be the family fixer, the loyal one who would keep everything together. This mindset followed me into my marriage and other relationships, where I became a master at excessive caretaking, problem-solving, and rationalizing away concerning behaviors.
The darkest part of codependency isn't just what we do for others—it's what we sacrifice of ourselves. I share the terrifying experience of trying to set boundaries for the first time, the exhaustion of constant cover-ups, and how I eventually found myself adopting someone else's fears and insecurities as my own. These patterns don't just hurt us; they damage everyone in our orbit.
But this isn't just a story of struggle—it's a roadmap to freedom. Through therapy, consistent boundary-setting, developing self-awareness, and implementing simple self-care practices, I found my way back to healthier relationships. The journey wasn't easy, but it was worth every difficult step.
Whether you're questioning your own relationship patterns or supporting someone who might be trapped in codependency, this episode offers both compassion and practical steps forward. Remember, true loyalty includes being loyal to your own wellbeing. There's still time left on the clock to start your comeback—let's get you off the bench and back in the game.
