“Our relationship was now more duty than dream, our love the kind bound by codependence, necessity, and obsession.” LoveObsessionUnhealthy RelationshipsCodependence Book:Alive Day: A Memoir Source: Alive Day: A Memoir
“Imperfect as our relationship was, I'd never believed in someone's love for me more. And something about being in love, despite the impossible circumstances we'd found ourselves in, made me feel invincible, like there was no obstacle in the world we couldn't get through as long as we had each other. Just us against the world.” LoveComplicated LoveImperfect LoveImpossible CircumstancesUs Against The World Quote Book:Alive Day: A Memoir Source: Alive Day: A Memoir
“We'd fight, and then hours later, when everything settled, we'd forgive each other. We'd sit side by side in our chaotic world, knowing that, as shitty as our monsters were to each other, they were also connected. They understood each other. They were just as comforted by each other as they were triggered. We'd become enmeshed. Codependent. We also hadn't told anyone what was happening because we were afraid we'd be told to separate. We could deal with a lot, but we couldn't bear being without each other.” LoveMonstersCodependentCodependent RelationshipsCan T Be Without You Book:Alive Day: A Memoir Source: Alive Day: A Memoir
