We Can Do Hard Things
Are You A High Functioning Codependent? Find Out with Terri Cole

And when people say, maybe you're just nice, Terry, or maybe I'm just being nice. Like all HFCs want to defend their behavior so badly. They can't wait to tell me that they're just good people. Hello. And I say, That may be true. I do believe you are good people. And if you can't not do it, that is a compulsion.
