Karamo coaches someone caught in codependent co-parenting, where constant togetherness feeds abandonment fears. He has them repeat "I'm not all you have" to break the cycle, arguing that love doesn't require physical proximity and each person needs their own life outside the relationship.
Being around each other 24/7 and also making this promise of I'm here to stay is not helping the abandonment issues. What you have to say is that I will always love you and I'll always be committed to being the best person, but sometimes we might be apart. It doesn't diminish the love and it does not diminish the respect.
I can see that we are codependent on each other because we're always, we're literally all we have. Yes, I have family, but—
You're not. So this is gonna be the first step. Yeah, I'm gonna teach y'all, all right?
Okay.
I want you to turn to him and say, I'm not all you have.
I'm not all you have.
Because you have yourself.
Because you do have yourself.
And I want you to say to her, I'm not all you have.
I'm not all you have.
Because you have yourself.
Because you do have yourself.
See, what I'm trying to teach you is that part of that codependency is because you're forgetting what it is to be by yourself, forgetting the love that you have for yourself. I want y'all to get over this codependency so that you two can be the best co-parents you need to be.
