Co-Dependents Anonymous holds group meetings to enable people to leave co-dependent and abusive relationships. The Co-dependents' Anonymous website is here:
http://joy2meu.com/CoDA_Meetings.htmI strongly recommend that everyone read this - Emotional Dynamics of Dysfunctional and Abusive Relationships:
http://www.silcom.com/~joy2meu/Dynamics.htm The main website has articles on how to have healthy relationships, and avoid abusive ones:
http://www.silcom.com/~joy2meu/index.htmlThis website is an eye opener. It lists the differences between healthy loving relationships (between family, friends, or partners), and co-dependent, abusive ones. Abuse can be emotional and psychological, not just physical. If you are in an abusive relationship, please speak to someone close to you who cares, or to a counsellor. If you are in a life threatening situation, call the police. Please don't give up if someone rejects what you are saying. Keep on talking until you find people who are willing to help you. You are not alone in this. There is help out there. You deserve to have relationships that are safe, equal, and free of abuse.
