What does a codependent relationship look like?

In a codependent relationship, the person who's codependent will usually put the other person's needs before theirs.

How can I recover from a separation?

Try to maintain your health in other ways. Eat a healthy diet and give yourself some space to really think about what you want and need.

How should I interact with small children?

Talk to the child's parents to determine appropriate boundaries. When you're bonding with a small child who isn't yours, it's really important to respect the parents' guidelines. That way, you don't violate any boundaries or unintentionally create conflict. When you do that, the parents will feel respected, so the child will feel safer with you. In that space, you can add a lot of love and care to a child's life that can help them grow and develop in ways they might not have otherwise.
