Summary

"Se tiene por terrible la adicción al alcohol, el tabaco y los estupefacientes, pero casi siempre se pasa por alto el daño que la codependencia —la fijación dañina por alguien más— puede hacer en nuestras vidas. Tristemente, nos dice la autora, el entendimiento sociocultural de los males de la codependencia está poco difundido. Existen incluso aquellos que desdibujan este mal tachándolo sólo de un desliz de juicio, o de un juego del destino del que no se puede escapar. En este libro testimonial, la autora desvela la verdadera naturaleza de este sufrimiento, y explora su compleja historia. Aron sospecha que la razón por la cual se suaviza o se ignora este mal tiene que ver con que es una práctica que involucra el cuidado altruista de otros, un trabajo tradicionalmente delegado a las mujeres.

Everyone knows that an addiction to alcohol, tobacco, or other harmful substances is toxic. However, we often ignore the damage we can do to ourselves through codependence. Sadly, as the author explains, the harm of codependence is seldom discussed in our society. Many go so far as to label it a simple lack of judgment, or an unavoidable part of life. But, in this testimonial, the author helps guide us through the true nature of something as painful as codependence. Aaron suspects that this malady is often looked over because it is seen as a need to care for others, and even as something that only affects women.
