Mary talks about how to leave a co-dependent relationship, emphasizing that it may be the only way to break the cycle of abuse and addiction often accompanying the worst of co-dependence. More importantly, she emphasizes the value each of us carries within; that you are a whole and complete woman of value; a whole and a complete man of value – no matter what. It is our worth and value that has to be re-claimed and believed if one is to live co-dependent free.
