Melody Beattie

“Rescuing and caretaking mean almost what they sound like. We rescue people from their responsibilities. We take care of people’s responsibilities for them. Later we get mad at them for what we’ve done. Then we feel used and sorry for ourselves. That is the pattern, the triangle.”

Melody Beattie, Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself
