Co-dependence often develops in relationships where addiction or behavioral health issues are present. It is characterized by an unhealthy reliance on one partner for emotional validation or a compulsive need to "fix" the other’s problems. This dynamic perpetuates cycles of enabling addictive behaviors, creating barriers to recovery for both parties. Common traits of co-dependence include poor boundaries, excessive caregiving, and self-neglect. Addressing co-dependence involves therapy, such as CBT or family counseling, which focuses on developing independence, setting healthy boundaries, and fostering self-esteem. Breaking the cycle of co-dependence not only supports the individual in recovery but also strengthens relational dynamics.
