own. You accommodate to others to such a degree that you tend to discount or 
ignore your own feelings, desires and basic needs. Your self-esteem depends 
largely on how well you please, take care of and/or solve problems for someone 
else (or many others)." </I></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/graphic/mbi8110_cod.html">In my judgment, the co-dependency movement, which began with such valuable 
insight, has become a monster. In over-reaching, it has subjected healthy people 
to the same norms as unhealthy people, and in so doing, has caused much more 
harm than good. Married couples should be on guard from the ruinous effects of 
the co-dependency movement on marriage, especially if one of them suffers from 
anxiety or depression. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1F737896-5F13-43FA-92E2-5CC9869CA0DB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
