Attachment, is believing that without a particular thing or person, you can not be happy. (Anthony De Mello)

What a simple and profound definition of addiction. The interesting thing is that this explains Co-dependency as well as it does a drug dependency.

“If you my dear child, are not happy, than I can’t be happy.”

So our kids get high to be happy and we make our happiness contingent on their happiness.

What a viscious cycle of insanity!
