Order Instructions
This week we examined co-dependent relationships and the importance of recognizing them and their harmful effects on individual and relational well-being. For this Discussion Board, complete the following:
A. Find a song that depicts codependent relationships. (TRY TO US A RNB SONG)
For example (you can’t use this song);
The Script – “Breakeven”
I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don’t believe in
‘Cause I got time while she got freedom
‘Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don’t break even
Her best days were some of my worst
She finally met a man that’s gonna put her first
While I’m wide awake she’s no trouble sleeping
‘Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even… even… no
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
And what am I supposed to say when I’m all choked up and you’re ok?
I’m falling to pieces, yeah,
I’m falling to pieces

1. Post the lyrics that demonstrate codependency.
2. What message(s) in the song sound like a co-dependent relationship?
