I've been reading this book - "Codependents No More" which is really pretty interesting. While I've done very well about going about my business and continuing to be alive in the midst of a sometimes chaotic life, the book pointed out lots of areas where I could use some fine tuning and a totally different perspective.
While I'm no shrinking violet and I always have a very good idea of exactly what I'm thinking, I am always willing to listen to helpful suggestions. It talks about not letting the anger, bitterness or resentment (whatever you've got) not take control over your happiness, or ruin your ability to enjoy completely what is good and true. It's so easy to forget when you're in the middle of a trying situation.
Anyway, the book is kind of old, late 80s or early 90s but I think the information is timeless.
... just in case anyone else has issues that are similar but don't feel like openly discussing it. I got the book, used, for a few bucks on Amazon.com.
