Codependency, a compulsive behavior sometimes known as
"relationship addiction," is often characterized by a
dysfunctional, one-sided relationship that is emotionally
destructive--even abusive. For years Susan Conley found herself
trapped, married to an addict whose health, welfare, and safety she
valued far above her own. Over time she watched as she lost contact
with her own needs, desires, and sense of self. But then at
forty-two, after yet another crisis came to an anticlimactic
resolution that left nothing healed and little to hope for, she
decided, having never so much as touched a horse, to take up
riding. Here, with humor and honesty, Conley chronicles her
experiences, sharing how her pledge to rediscover herself following
her divorce was aided, abetted, and challenged by the horses in her
life. "They were as large a part of my recovery as were any of the
self-help books I read, personal development workshops I did, and
12-step meetings I attended," she writes. "The struggle to heal the
wounds of a dysfunctional marriage was actually made easier via the
real wounds received from horseback riding." Many Brave Fools
explores the ways in which horses enriched Conley's life, and how
the process of making herself into a rider also helped her become
the person she most wanted to be: not the "ex-wife of an addict,"
but a responsive, confident, even courageous woman, entering the
prime of her life.
