Children's understanding of death progresses from seeing it as temporary to realizing it is irreversible and will happen to everyone.

Mandy Johnson: Unmasking co-dependencySACAP

��

Co-dependents grow up never having learned how to be themselves, or even what their true identity really is. In adulthood this causes them to become over-identified with other people, particular roles, jobs or professions. They basically focus on others problems to avoid having to look at their own stuff. They try to change others – they are those who are heard saying: “I’d be all right if only everybody else would change”. This talk gets to the heart of what this very misunderstood process addiction is about.
