Is Batman Cozdependant ?

The new Batman movie is approaching release. I have to say I am not as excited as I was when I thought it would be Michael Keaton play Batman again, do you agree with me? I thought so. I will watch just about any movie on the big screen. I love to go to the movies, it’s one of my favorite things to do. However, I really did not know how much I enjoyed going to the movies until I started investigating self love. I used to think it was selfish to want to go to the movies, I even got a job as a theater checker so I could go to the movies as often as I wanted . I still clocked out as one of my favorite jobs, I got to wear black all the time, I got to eat all I wanted to, and drink as many sodas along with watching all the movies when I came to our theater.

In the past few years, I have not been as mesmerized with Batman as before, I think it’s sad. In recent times I have realized how Batman is codependent as hell. Yes, I am aware that he is also vengeful. That combined with his commitment to vigilante action is a perfect storm. Looking at the word codependency I can’t help but still feel like it’s not that big of a deal. I still want to look at it like I am helping people, so why is that so bad. Then I have to take into consideration what got me to the movies on a regular basis. That type of self-love is probably something that Batman never felt, even in the dark knight when he starts to develop all of his strengths and learns all about his weaknesses. Even then I feel like he is 100% falling into revenge for his parents. I wish I could ask Batman what in the hell he was thinking, how did all of this vigilante action and protecting the city as dark as Gotham benefit his life?

Specialists coined the term “codependency” in the 1940s. This was when “Alcohol Abuse Disorder” was new and a quick diagnosis. Describing actions such as, making excuses

hiding the alcohol use,

protecting the person from any fallout or consequences of their actions… plain enabling the behavior that caused pain in the first place. According to the website *PsychCentral*, today experts agree that codependency has a more nuanced and complex meaning — and can show up in many situations, not just ones involving substance use. Vicki Botnick, a marriage and family therapist in Tarzana, CA, told *PsychCentral* that “codependency often involves a sense of forgetting “*where you end and your partner begins*.”

“Codependency refers to any enmeshed relationship in which one person loses their sense of independence and believes they need to tend to someone else,” Botnick continued. This springs need to the topic of self love. True self love I believe is when you allow your needs to be met before placing someone else in front of those needs. Especially when the needs of others that are , create a sense of comfort. Trust when I say, it took me years to find comfort in my own skin. I didn’t come out of the closet until I was 35, merely because I was worried about disappointing people that I cared about, and how my choices would affect their lives.

I used to feel like self-loveless selfish. Now I’m aware that it is a imperative part of knowing who you are, and what you love. Hey I don’t have much more to say about that tonight is self-love activities this week have been included in my daughters birthday celebration. I have taken time to read this week.
