I wrote up a codependency checklist a while back. I finally got it online recently, so I thought I'd post a link to it here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the hallmarks of codependency is an over-concern with the needs of others, to the point where others' needs are frequently and routinely placed ahead of one's own.
Many people grapple with this question: When is being giving to others a positive thing, and when is it 'being codependent'?
Here is a list of 'touchstones' for how to figure out when giving is positive or negative.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Folks are welcome to link to it, make copies of it, pass copies along to other folks, etc, so long as my name, location and contact info and the original URL remain intact.
Feedback on it is welcome, too - I'd love to hear about it if folks have ideas about how to improve it.
