Codependent Wife
How that "please-be-nice-to-me", try-hard neediness of the codependent wife can bring out the worst in their man.
Codependent Daughter
My daughter, oh my daughter, please come quickly I need you.
I know that you have homework, but there’s just so much to do.
If you only knew what I’ve been through you couldn’t help but sympathise.
You see the pain etched on my face and the tears behind my smile.
And if I forget to thank you when you clean and cook my food,
you shouldn’t take it personally can’t you see it’s just my mood?
And if I don’t see or hear you, one day you’ll understand
and know just what it is like to live with an unkind man.
