They cannot be interdependent in healthy ways until they are capable of independently taking healthy care of themselves. Many people are compulsively dependent upon each other, and are not free to honestly be themselves. Because they cannot be themselves honestly, they cannot relate to each other honestly; and cannot be interdependent in honest ways. They live according to dishonest patterns of thought, attitudes and being. To regain honesty, integrity and health---they need to detach. Can people who have regained health, integrity and honesty through detachment from each other then later be intimately re-united with each other without falling back into their former confusing patterns of thought, attitudes and being? The hazards of returning to those dysfunctional patterns and their apparent modes of fulfillment are great. To be dishonest about the hazards is the first step into a pattern of returning to the old prison and its apparent modes of fulfillment. Nostalgia for the "good old times" is often very dangerous to recovering addicts and codependents. Nostalgia needs to be balanced with honesty. To pretend that the nostalgia is not real is itself a form of dishonesty. To share the nostalgia can be an invitation to return to the prison with its apparent modes of fulfillment. Honesty is not easy for us to achieve when we are confronted with the realities of past intimate relationships which were addictive and codependent in character. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
