Dri Edwards
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC
When we grow up in dysfunctional families, often we are "given" a role or roles in the family; we learn behaviors that help us survive the dysfunction in "functional" ways. We identify these as who we are and continue functioning in the same way as adults. The problem with this occurs when the learned behaviors and roles are not helpful in current adult relationships.

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.

Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
John Lee once said, "Recovery from codependency is like kicking heroin, only harder." Our need to please, to fix, to control can take us to the brink of insanity & drive everyone around us crazy, too! But we can learn new ways to think & feel about ourselves so we can step back from enmeshment.
