Codependency, The Opponent

Codependency is defined as a relationship in which one or both partners are currently suffering from, or have previously suffered from, substance abuse, mental illness, or family trauma. Developing a codependent relationship as a means of coping with the pressures of one’s life is an acquired response to traumatic life experiences.

In order to ensure another’s happiness, a codependent person–also known as an enabler–will go to considerable measures, even at the expense of their own health and well-being. Many enablers are willing to put their own convictions and conscience aside to meet the needs of the person they are enabling. When the person being enabled allows or even encourages this behavior, it will continue. The commitment and concern that a codependent person has for the enabled person’s happiness are manifested in their actions and attitudes towards their enabler. If you find yourself exhibiting any of these behaviors or experiencing these feelings, especially if you can determine you may have had traumatic life situations, it is very possible you are engaged in a codependent relationship.

Because of substance abuse and addiction, even the most intimate interpersonal connections can become strained or broken. Because it is difficult for someone suffering from an addiction to maintain good relationships, codependency and addiction are frequently observed in tandem.

Those who have grown up in a codependent household are more likely than others to acquire codependency due to their upbringing and experiences in the home. The term codependency was first used in the context of families in which one or more members were struggling with alcoholism or drug addiction, respectively.

As a result, the word has come to describe the dynamics of a family in which one or more members is battling alcoholism or drug addiction. Numerous dysfunctional family systems can result in the development of codependent relationships, and in many dysfunctional family systems, those codependent relationships are maintained.

People who are battling addiction or mental illness are more likely to fall into various
