Are You a “rescuer”, the “dependable” one, “fixer”, “enabler” or always “giving” to others? If so, you likely suffer from Codependency and those near you suffer too.
Codependency is a relationship in which one person is controlled by another. It often involves placing a lower priority on one’s own needs, while being excessively preoccupied with the needs of others. It can occur in any type of relationship whether it be work, family, friendship, romantic and peer relationships. Often the person controlling has a pathological condition such as alcohol or drug addiction and narcissism.
Codependency can be formed very early in childhood which makes it very easy to pass on to your own children. What happens in a codependent relationship is that a person gives control or importance to another by making the relationship work more important than themselves. It actually becomes a one-sided relationship because you are doing all the work and the other person is not.

Typically, the codependent may be categorized by denial, excessive compliance, low self-esteem and control patterns. Usually one person plays the distressed person and the codependent partner becomes the person who fixes everything and feels respected. This scenario is probably the most significance theme of codependency and the sense a control.
Freedom from codependency means learning new ways to find a solutions by taking back your own power. It means understanding that you can only fix your own problems. It doesn’t mean you cannot support another person during their time of need. Being free from codependency means letting the other person work towards their goals however they can.
