Co-Dependency

Co-dependency is a term used to describe a pattern of detrimental behavioural interactions within a dysfunctional relationship, most commonly found in a relationship in which one person is chemically dependent or compulsive.

The co-dependent is the person who enables, and therefore perpetuates, the addiction or pathological condition of someone close to them in a way that hampers that person's recovery and their own wellbeing.
