What is Codependency?
Relationships are supposed to be mutually beneficial where both parties support each other equally. Codependency is a term used to describe a dysfunctional relationship pattern where one person (the codependent) becomes reliant on another person (often someone struggling with addiction, mental health issues, or other problems) for their sense of self-worth and identity. The codependent becomes the caregiver and may sacrifice their own needs, desires, and boundaries to maintain the relationship.
