Melody Beattie
I gave three years of my life to take care of my dying mother who had Alzheimer's disease. Being there for her every need for three years might have looked codependent but it wasn't because it was what I wanted to do.
Melody Beattie
The lesson I was learning involved the idea that I could feel compassion for people without acting on it.
