Signs some people notice

You might recognise some of the following

• Making excuses for someone's behaviour to others, or to yourself
• Feeling responsible for managing someone else's moods
• A sense of relief that feels almost euphoric after conflict resolves
• Difficulty imagining life without the person, even when the relationship is painful
• Loss of contact with friends, family or interests over time
• Returning to contact after deciding, more than once, to stay away
• Feeling like 'you' when you're with them, in a way that frightens you slightly
