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.
