Hi Ali. I don't know if we can truly overcome codependency but we can learn how to be less codependent. At least that is what I'm learning. If you look around, there is some type of codependent behavior in everyone at some point. Focus should be on you though and remember, your human just like everyone else.
I do know how you feel about feeling like a child. I'm assuming that people are telling you in some way that maybe your clinging to them right now? Does that make you feel like your a little kid holding onto mom's leg, if you know what I mean? I felt that same way with my husband and I'm 45 years old and I felt like I was 8! What makes a child latch on to a parent like that? Fear. Fear that if you let go you will get lost or you will lose that security you feel. Just some things to think about. What are you holding onto?
