Laurie Notaro Quote

I need to learn to recognize and identify these danger signs when I see them, and not brush them off as eccentricities, lovable oddities, or a sign that he s crying out for help and the comforting of a codependent nurturer that only I, Princess Enabler, can provide. Bad boyfriends don't disguise themselves; their girlfriends do it for them.
