A few years ago, I wouldn't have believed I could be happy again. At that time, my source of happiness was my children. It wasn't until Jody died, leaving me with a big gaping hole in my life, that I realized I had cheated myself. It's okay that our children brings us joy. That's normal and healthy. But being dependent on them for our joy is co-dependency. I was definitely co-dependent..
Things are different now. Jody's death woke me up. As a result of working on myself, my happiness today comes from a source inside me.
