While the term codependency is often used exclusively in relationships where one partner is an addict, I believe it is important to look at the role of codependency in all relationships. Whenever we are excessively tied to someone needing emotional or psychological support and when there does not exist a process to hand over autonomy or responsibility to the person who's been impaired, we have to examine our codependency issues. While our conscious intent may be to be helpful and nothing more, codependent behaviors may be fueled by underlying needs for security, validation, power, and self-esteem. Whatever the cause, freedom from codependency generally results in greatly increased energy, passion for life, and happiness.

Codependent relationships are often described as being marked by intimacy problems, dependency, control (including caretaking), denial, dysfunctional communication and boundaries, and high reactivity. There may be imbalance within the relationship, where one person is abusive or in control or supports or enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement. Under this conception of codependency, the codependent person's sense of purpose within a relationship is based on making extreme sacrifices to satisfy their partner's needs. Codependent relationships signify a degree of unhealthy "clinginess" and needy behavior, where one person does not have self-sufficiency or autonomy. One or both parties depend on their loved one for fulfillment. The mood and emotions of the codependent are often determined by how they think other individuals perceive them (especially loved ones). This perception is self-inflicted and often leads to clingy, needy behavior which can hurt the health of the relationship. Addressing codependency in one's life can be very freeing and is the key for many in establishing and defining a healthy relationship with self and others.
