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.
