What Is Codependency?

Codependency is a destructive pattern of living. Codependency is a destructive pattern of living, whereby one person surrenders many of the privileges and blessings and advancement of his or her life because of their involvement with another person and that person's destructive behavior.

Codependency is marked by a lack of objectivity in the codependents life where decisions are made that bring further pain and destruction into the codependents life without having any affect.

Codependents are further marked by a warped sense of responsibility. The roots of codependency often come from control-centered families, which have had a lot of hurt, anger, guilt and shame.

Codependents usually long to belong and have trouble relating.
