Sometimes we might go through phases in life where we do have to depend upon others for support.
Some addictions are more obvious than others, such as addictions to drugs and alcohol.
But others are much sneakier and more nefarious.

We might not even notice they exist.
Codependency is a whole other ballgame.
When you come from a codependent family, at first you will have no idea what codependency is.
You will just think the behavior patterns that you experienced within your family system were normal.
Codependency at its core is an addiction to relationships, where people depend upon one another excessively for support.
When you come from a codependent family, it sets up all of your future relationships to be codependent.
So while you are trying to overcome codependency, you cant really go cold turkey.
This feeds into our views that causes relationships to be addictive and messy.
Ultimately, relationships should be much more peaceful, but often, they are not necessarily asfunthat way.
You have to learn to be self-sufficient on your own terms.
