I think that the main problem is that many of you are prey to all this pseudo-psychological bunkum . You bandy words and expressions like 'co-dependent' ' charmer/abuser' , 'enabler' around . You speak of 'counsellors' , and I bet you know loads more words and expressions like that . I heard ' passive / aggressive' from an American the other day too ....
I find this very strange . It is as though you have to fit yourselves and other people into these pre-defined categories . People are far more interesting and complex than this , and personally I would not go near a shrink or a psychologist if you paid me . I have always found the idea of being told what I think , or what other people are , perfectly horrifying . I know what I think , and I deal with people as I come across them . People are people , not clinical cases .
I hope what I have just said may be useful to the doubtful and worried amongst you . I meant it to be helpful , not critical .
