Codependent´s diary : from the darkness of victimhood to the clear truth

Liina Viies Zethelius takes the reader on a journey through her days, feelings, and experiences, everything that happened in her life over the course of one year. From this journey emerged a self-analysis in the form of a diary - genuine, profound, brutally honest, and completely naked. So painfully naked that it hurts the reader too. But pain is good because healing comes through pain. You can feel how both the author and the reader are healing as they move forward day by day on this journey, and that is the ultimate purpose and value of this diary. It's easier together because you, dear reader, feel that you are not alone in your worries.

Liina's book is about codependency. You can be dependent on anything or anyone, but a codependent is always trapped in the same feelings and struggles: they no longer live for themselves, but for the lives of others, constantly trying to save them, and forgetting their own needs completely.

Liina's book is a lifeline for all codependents, and the key is honest self-analysis, noticing your own feelings and behavior patterns. You have to start with yourself, with the goal of getting closer to yourself and trying to understand why I am in a situation where I live with a person in dependency. By analyzing her own feelings and behavior every day, the author comes to important realizations about the influence of her childhood patterns and begins to heal them day by day.

The result is a captivating, engaging, and touching story, at times painful and challenging, but always full of hope, brightness, and continuous healing for both the author and the reader. Liina's story clearly shows that you don't have to be alone on this journey, it's better to allow others to help you, because there are always people around you who truly care and support you.
