Nina Renata Aron Quote: “I was mad that I was so sensitive in the first place, trained in an empathy so granular and heartbreaking and Jewish, that my view on the family was so robust that I couldn’t just be plain angry like a regular teenager.

I saw everything from everyone else’s perspective and I felt bad and sad for us all.”

Nina Renata Aron Quote: “Thinking about adults putting on a happy face for children, or worse, being unable to put on the happy face, is devastating. That we maintain this dishonesty with them, that we must. I have a longing to protect the kids from coming into some consciousness of the fact that taking care of them is difficult. I always imagined that keeping that fact from them was an essential part of good mothering.”

Nina Renata Aron Quote: “I want him to see how hard my life is, how much easier he could make it, how unjust it is that he won’t. I have this idea that he is a bad man who is stealing my time and energy – that is meant to be a feminist reading of what’s happening, but the truth is I don’t conceptualize my time as mine in the first place. He can’t steal something that I don’t consider my own.”

Nina Renata Aron Quote: “But then one day I hear him doing the dishes, and here’s what I do not think: Yes! No, there is no yes at all. I think: He is running the water too long. He’ll damage my nice pan. He doesn’t know where anything goes. I am so accustomed to thinking of him as unwilling and unable – useless – that I find it is very hard to stop... I have to fight the impulse to go into the kitchen and take over, or oversee. The impulse is not an abstraction. It feels like an itch inside my fingers.”

Nina Renata Aron Quote: “I felt the familiar charge of responsibility. It had a narcotic effect on me, this sense of mild suffering, the feeling of being needed, of being poised to go through something. If he was sick, I would nurse him back to health. I relished the idea.”

Nina Renata Aron Quote: “For a long time, I believed that if I took care of myself, I would necessarily, organically move farther away from others. In the binary logic of individualism, you fortify the self at the expense of the other. But in filling the empty space of me, I have found that actually the complete opposite is true. The more I love myself, the more my heart opens, the more present and sensitive I become, so much so it hurts.”

Nina Renata Aron Quote: “The disease I have is loving him. They don’t write articles about it or send camera crews to follow us. The disease I have is called codependency, or sometimes enabling, and it isn’t really a disease, though it can feel like one. It’s more like an ill-defined set of tendencies and behaviors, and depending on how badly it’s flaring, it can manifest as a lot of different things – a disorder, a nuisance, an encumbrance, a curse, or sometimes merely a sensibility, a preference, a cast of mind.”
