Bok av Matthew K Russel
The emotional codependency, a real pitfall for the couple's happiness!A pitfall that is easy to fall into and just as difficult to get out of.

In the latter case one is obsessed with the other and at the root of this obsession there is no love but fear.
A codependent individual essentially needs affection (as we all do) but what sets them apart from the ordinary human is the tendency to desire to be loved, is the disproportionate need for attention and love.
