Relationships matter, but overly relying on relationships to make you feel whole and complete is an issue. It's important to balance the worth you generate from self and the worth you generate from loved ones around you.

Codependency therapy, also known as codependency counseling or codependency treatment, is a specialized form of counseling that focuses on assisting individuals to break codependent patterns and develop healthier relationships and boundaries. Codependency is a dysfunctional and facilitating relationship pattern in which individuals place the demands and desires of others above their own.
The therapeutic approach for codependency can vary based on the individual's unique requirements, the severity of their codependency, and their treatment objectives. Individuals can break free from codependent patterns, develop healthier relationship skills, and improve their emotional well-being through therapy.
If codependency is significantly affecting your relationships and well-being, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified mental health professional with experience in codependency therapy in order to address your specific needs and work towards building healthier relationships and a more satisfying life.

Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.
