#codependency — Public Fediverse posts

We’ve been taught to call it love, but what if it’s just another high? From “you don’t get me high anymore” to “I don’t know how to live without this,” the language hasn’t changed but the substance has. If you need someone to function, that’s not romance.

Militant activists are often driven by unconscious #codependency ~ it is easier to “save the world” than it is to work on your own #shadow and be content with #authenticity as a form of rebellion.

I thought it was love. But my nervous system knew better.

If you've ever wondered why you can't just leave someone who's destroying you — this is why.

Crown
A #poetry thread

i.

My Lady stood within an arch
and wore her weighty crown of stone.
She gave her hand and I embarked
on a great quest I should have known.

As we walked, she steadfastly sighed
about the burden that she bore.
She dropped her veil and then she cried
that her long neck was tense and sore.

By middle age, I finally noticed how much of my life I wasted befriending narcissists and trying to reform toxic work environments.

Most of my twenties and thirties, really. Very eye-opening.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Often have I marvelled how each one of us loves himself above all men, yet sets less store by his own opinion of himself than by that of everyone else.
 
[Πολλάκις ἐθαύμασα πῶς ἑαυτὸν μὲν ἕκαστος μᾶλλον πάντων φιλεῖ, τὴν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ περὶ αὑτοῦ ὑπόληψιν ἐν ἐλάττονι λόγῳ τίθεται ἢ τὴν τῶν ἄλλων.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 12, ch. 4 (12.4) (AD 161-180) [tr. Haines (Loeb) (1916)]

Brutally efficient, ‘A Trail of Blood’ is a great title of realistic psychological horror centered on the relation between a mom and her son.
Make sure you can handle the subject first because you will be shaken.

So it’s been challenging for both of us. I don’t normally leave the house often anyways, but I can’t keep cancelling much-needed medical appointments indefinitely. If anything, I’ve erred on the side of giving him as much rest as possible, but it’s also not healthy for either of us to be confined to home for months on end.

These are the challenges with having a #servicedog when something unexpected happens. You have to do what’s best for them, but fuck, you need them too! #codependency

i.

I walked into a prison cell
and closed the wrought iron gate behind.
At first the place felt harmless — well,
my gentle jailer seemed so kind.

Although I held a golden key
to turn the gate’s old rusty lock,
for years I knelt obediently
each time my jailer came and knocked.
