Lisa Vespico-Mull
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SAP, ICAADC
Codependency can be a normal reaction to dealing with a loved one with substance use disorder. It can also affect multiple relationships apart from addiction and can sometimes be engrained due to upbringing and other factors. I am aware of resources available to help address codependency issues as well such as literature and community programs. Often times, if we feel a lack of control, it is a way to engage but will be destructive to you and your relationships in the long run.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
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.
