Tink and Gilly are *back!* For now.  We actually will be away once more next week because summer is nuts but THIS WEEK we discuss codependent dynamics in relationships and what to do about them.  If codependency can be defined as needing the next person to be ok before we can be ok, where does it come from?  What might be we be afraid of that can make it so hard to tolerate any distance or discomfort in relationships?  On the way we discuss possums in the freezer and tarps in the gazebo, we review for the gazillionth time some of Gillian's accounts of teenagers having been mean to her in the 1990s, and we identify some killer ways to separate love from codependency.
