DENIAL:

Denial is fertile breeding ground for the behaviors we call
codependent: controlling, focusing on others and neglecting
ourselves. Illness and compulsive addictive behaviors can also
emerge during denial.

Denial can be confusing because it resembles sleeping. We're not
really aware we're doing it until we're done doing it. Forcing
ourselves – or anyone else – to face the truth usually doesn't help.
We may admit to the truth for a moment, but we won't let
ourselves know what we know until we feel safe, secure, and
prepared enough to deal and cope with it.

Talking to friends who know, love, support, encourage, and affirm
us helps.

The first step toward acceptance is denial. The first step toward
moving through denial is accepting that we may be in denial, and
then gently allowing ourselves to move through.
