WOW!! Sheri, this is fantastic!! A beautiful description of co-dependency and how deeply it affects us - and what we can do to change it. I'm so sorry you've struggled like this for such a long time. I know that dance myself and my mother was the worst (but then I kept finding more of the same in my marriages. Go figure. What a surprise. NOT!).

I'm so excited for you that you were able to change your response to your mother!! Well done! And how amazing that you saw the immediate response in your body! It tells us so much but we don't always listen.

Thank you for sharing this powerful story, Shari, and for choosing HHH as its home. And thank you, too, for the shoutout and sharing my story about self-care. I appreciate you so much! 💜
