I'm giving this a 5 star review because it's what woke me up after my breakup. It's not the height of literary achievement, but it is informative of something I'd learned about before and never considered applying to myself. How could I, a strong, assertive, bold woman, be "codependent"?
Turns out it means something else entirely from what I had internalized from my own psychoeducation. This helped me to name the issues I had faced throughout my relationships. Helped me to find the hidden similarities between them. Video games/gaming as an addiction in my ex partner. And helping to identify my own addictions. Just so incredibly informative and helpful, as cheesy and corny as it felt to read it, and as embarrassed as I was about it at times. It was genuinely transformational.
