The cultural phenomenon that has helped heal millions of readers, this modern classic holds the key to understanding codependency and unlocking its hold on your life.
Melody Beattie’s compassionate and insightful look into codependency—the concept of losing oneself in the name of helping another—has guided millions of readers toward the understanding that they are powerless to change anyone but themselves and that caring for the self is where healing begins.
Is someone else’s problem your problem? If, like so many others, you’ve lost sight of your own life in the drama of tending to a loved one’s self-destructive behavior, you may be codependent—and you may find yourself in this book. With personal reflections, exercises, and instructive stories drawn from Beattie’s own life and the lives of those she’s counseled, Codependent No More helps you break old patterns and maintain healthy boundaries, and offers a clear and achievable path to healing, hope, freedom, and happiness.
This revised edition includes an all-new chapter on trauma and anxiety—subjects Beattie has long felt necessary to address within the context of codependency—making it even more relevant today than it was when it first entered the national conversation over thirty-five years ago.

Jane had a pretty good life. She was a single mother, and she
worked hard for her three kids, who meant the world to her. One
autumn evening she met someone she believed to be the man of her
dreams-the only thing missing in her nearly perfect life. He was
handsome, gentle, quiet, and kind.
Eleven months later, they bought a home and were married. Jane
was so happy. Soon, however, her daughter, Michelle, began to
change; she became distant and withdrawn. Something was wrong, but
Jane couldn't figure out what it was. She never thought to look at
her husband as being the cause her daughter's moodiness or imagine
that it might be somehow related to sexual abuse. Her husband-a
young, handsome man with a nine-to-five job, an ex-wife and kids of
his own-was nothing like her image of a pedophile.
In her memoir, "I Am Gonna Tell," Jane recounts the nightmare
that she, her daughter and sons lived through due to the man Jane
brought into their lives. This is a mother's brutally honest
account of the horrifying discovery of her daughter's sexual abuse
at the hands of her husband-her daughter's stepfather.
WITH BROKEN WINGS is a riveting and engrossing memoir about one
woman's courage and perseverance in battling through, first,
childhood sexual abuse and, later on, horrific physical and sexual
abuse as an adult. It is a true story told in raw and honest
details; a story of heart-wrenching losses, discovery, unwavering
resilience and faith. Jerie Catillo's story is a beautiful gift
because of her rare ability and willingness to bare her soul to the
universe; and because of her passion to reveal the healing she
received after she poured out her broken self to others. WITH
BROKEN WINGS speaks of Jerie Catillo's fight to move forward in her
life-despite all she had to leave behind. It speaks of her
transformation from a broken and torn woman to a woman who has been
set free and who has jubilantly reclaimed her magnificent self and
voice.
