Which way do I go?

After a strange dream last night, I find myself with a choice to make. Do I move forward into an unknown place of growth and change or do I allow myself to fall back into the known where there is no possibility for progress?
After writing about this, I realized that I want change. I want to do things differently. I don't like the way things were. But, with that said, I also don't know where to begin. Here's what my beginning looks like for me...
I have to tell someone near and dear to me how I feel, but with that comes old co-dependency feelings. I don't want to upset the person, to make them feel bad, but I need to find healing and freedom for me.
Co-dependency and feeling my feelings fully are pulling me like a rope in tug of war. If I choose to go forward and feel my feelings then I leave my co dependency issues behind. Along with what is known and what feels safe because it's known. But if I choose to feel my feelings then I move forward into the unknown. Forward motion is progress on one hand, but unknown and fearful on the other hand. Going back means I lose ground in my recovery. I don't want to lose ground. I want to move forward... even though I'm afraid.
Abba, how do I move forward in this new place in my life. Help me, teach me.
