Making the nests, I did the exact same thing when I was younger!!<br/><br/>I'm not sure if my desire to build birdie homes had or has anything to do with codependency...or if it has something to do with my lifelong desire to capture adorable creatures and keep them as my very own. More of a "Lenny" complex perhaps...I could just pet them and squeeze them and hug them until they are...woops!! <br/><br/>When I was younger we had mice in our house. My mom let me build elaborate traps that would catch them live and said if I ever caught one I could keep it as a pet. I never did catch one of course but it was a lot of fun trying, and a lot of fun imagining all the mousy fun we'd have together, hah! Wow!!

I so much SEE my compulsion to "Help" everyone else...the co-dependency thing in me...because THEY can't/won't do for themselves...or they surely won't do it right...blah-blah.<br/><br/>I'm learning to let go...with my SA & with my kids...I have so much to work on...but grateful that I'm now AWARE of these issues...
