^Angel^ said:I do understand what you mean by ' Co- Dependency '....It's obvious that in some cases or situations ' Co- Dependency ' doesn't work...Let me tell u about myself here...My soon to be ex husband abused me...If he was somewhat in a similiar type of situation as your ex husband , I would be happy to put my feelings aside and help him by asking around or help find him a place to live but not with me but somewhere than being out on the streets or in his own car...I would do it for anyone even strangers, that's the kind of person I am....
God would want people to be good samaritans besides acting out of doing something such as doing good deeds, etc....
I would want my children to see that I am helping their dad because I do care and wouldn't want my children to see where their dad is living in....Children do need both parents and sometimes, we just have to put our feeling aside and do the right thing for the sake of the children....Reaching out in certain ways despite our own inner sufferings or what the past has brought upon me or anyone else with whatever kind of experiences (both good and bad) have gone through, yet by being a good samaritan reaching out in any way that I'm able to contribute, help...without being co-dependent on each other...
I know what "Samartian" is. *Chuckles* But, I know my ex-hubby very well for many years. He has some friends that I adviced him to go to and ask for help. So, he did and found someone who already accepted him as a room mate. Supposedly, IF I already KNEW that he has no friends, then maybe the situation will be different.... but I already KNEW that he has some friends and that he should go to and ask for help.
You and I are different people and don't have the same insights and feelings about our ex-hubbies. You and I are not the same desires what we feel for others in some fields. I do have my own desire, but in a different circumstance. For example... as its for me, I would rather to see my ex-hubby to LEARN the hard way on his own by findin' his friends to see, if one of his friends could accept him instead of attemptin' to ask his ex-wife for a room mate... that is a for me. He has no rights to ask ex-wife for a room mate, just because he learned that I success. That's not right. He was hopin' that I will help him to build his new credit by usin' me or takin' an advantage of me, because of my credit is good. See, that's how I got my own place and had my own job. That's not fair. I worked hard my butt off to earn my merit and give myself a credit for it. I hope that you understand this. He has to learn to find a way of how to success himself on his own. That's what life is about.
