One sick person who is not getting well and is not interested in getting well, may resent another sick person's progress in getting well---because of a need for the other person's continued sickness. The person who is not getting well feels threatened by the possibility that the person who is getting well will no longer be present in a sick way to support their own continued sickness. To healthy people it may seem sick, that sick people want to remain sick, and it is. Some people are so sick that the nature of their sickness includes the desire to remain in the sick condition---which they do not recognize as being sick. They regard the attitudes, beliefs, expectations, and patterns of thought which are at the heart of their sickness, to be the only reasonable attitudes, beliefs, expectations, and patterns of thought. Any change from them on the part of their sick friends, is experienced as a threat to their cherished world views. To recover from some of our forms of sickness we need to be alert to the possibility that some of our attitudes, beliefs, expectations and patterns of thought may be at the heart of some forms of our sicknesses; and we may not be aware of what it is that is making us sick. We may not want to give up the heart of our sickness, because we may regard it as part of the essence of the way of life which we regard as normal and proper; being unable to imagine any other way of life as normal and proper. Our addictions, collusions and codependencies may to us seem quite respectable, proper, and beyond reasonable question; and we may in our sick way of thinking believe it is unreasonable to suggest that we give them up.
