I like to describe codependency as emotional dependence, as I believe this describes codependency in terms that are easy to understand.
What is Codependency ...
Codependency usually develops from a child growing up feeling they must keep an emotionally needy parent happy. This will lead them to understand moods and emotions as something people need help dealing with and cannot process or regulate on their own. This will make a codependent very emotionally needy making it hard for them to stick to their own goals. A person with codependent tendencies may feel keeping everyone happy and preserving the status quo is more important than standing up for themselves. This may lead them not to get angry until they are ‘pushed too far’ and then they may become manic, reactive or over emotional.
Codependence is about emotional dependence and someone with these tendencies will have a hard time functioning if they are not in a relationship and will often put their need for a relationship with a life partner before their own needs, security and goals.
We believe Codependency just like Narcissism is a form of immaturity that with guidance and example people can grow out of ...
A codependent has not learned healthy ways of regulating their own emotions and moods and will be very dependent on other people to help ‘keep them happy’. Codependency is more serious than it may sound and can cause a cascade of other mental and physical health problems (and also addictions) within their family.
As codependency will often lead to chronic long term physical illness and/or addictive behavior it could even be said that codependency kills.
