BEING PERFECT:
~
Recovery from codependency is an individual process that
necessitates making mistakes, struggling through problems, and
facing tough issues.
Expecting ourselves to be perfect slows this process; it puts us in a
guilty and anxious state. Expecting others to be perfect is equally
destructive; it makes others feel ashamed and may interfere with
their growth.
Expecting others to be perfect puts us in that codependent state of
moral superiority. Expecting ourselves to be perfect makes us feel
rigid and inferior.
We do not need to go to the other extreme, tolerating anything
people throw our way. We can still expect appropriate, responsible
behavior from ourselves. But most of us can afford to loosen up a bit.
