I did not know I was codependent. I thought I was just being helpful. I did not realize how much I’d stunted anyone’s ability to grow. My personal work for the last year and a half is figuring out how to let other human people just be human people. All the way. Good, bad, hard, making good choices, making terrible choices. Because they’re a person, and that’s their life. It’s not my life. Jen Hatmaker
