Sometimes we get so caught up with helping and making sure we try and fix what the other person is doing wrong that we get fixated on the outward look and how others see our relationship that we become codependent. Our boundaries and what is important to us goes out the window. We think we are being Godly partners, help mates, and we are in this together.
Wait….really? Yes, those things are all true. But, not at the expense of you being abused mentally and emotionally. If you can no longer be yourself or are walking on eggshells to express yourself and your needs in a relationship, this is not a balanced relationship. It is time for you to pray and be still. Write down, journal, what used to be important to you. Does it still matter or have you changed for someone else so much that you lost that individual, one of a kind person that God created?
