Take action:
If you can identify with some of the following statements, chances are you're a relationship addict: I minimise, alter or deny how I truly feel; I do not ask others to meet my needs or desires; I value others' approval of my thinking, feelings and behaviour over my own; my good feelings about who I am stem from being liked by you; my mental attention is focused on you, protecting you, and manipulating you to do it my way; my fear of rejection determines what I say or do; I always seem to get involved with the wrong men who drink, do drugs and are abusive.
