codependency?

Q: What’s the emotional life like for someone caring for a person with a substance abuse problem?

A: It’s typically a relationship of codependency. The 6 Secular Suggestions for defeating relapse rationally can help you transform a codependent relationship into a healthy one.

In sociology, codependency is a theory that attempts to explain imbalanced relationships where one person enables another person’s self-destructive behavior such as addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility or under-achievement.

Definitions of codependency vary, but typically include high self-sacrifice, a focus on others’ needs, suppression of one’s own emotions, and attempts to control or fix other people’s problems. People who self-identify as codependent exhibit low self-esteem, but it is unclear whether this is a cause or an effect of characteristics associated with codependency. Codependency is not limited to married, partnered, or romantic relationships as co-workers, friends and family members can be codependent.

AND THAT’S THE TRUTH
