Codependency
Many people living with active addiction suffer from codependency. Codependency, although a broad term, is basically the use of maladaptive and dysfunctional behaviors to cope with the pain of living in toxic and/or painful relationship(s).
Some symptoms of codependency include, but are not limited to: lack of trust, controlling behaviors, perfectionism, avoidance of emotions/feelings, and enabling/care taking of the addict. Fortunately, those suffering from codependency can receive help and begin in the steps of recovery. For more information, please visit the resources below.
