What is Codependency addiction or Codependency?

Question by Rob: What is Codependency addiction or Codependency?
I was reading a page on the net long ago about codependency .People who have codependency do they feel the need to satisfy the urge of others no matter what the cost is?

Example your wife is addicted to painkillers ,not going to work, not looking after the house ,not looking after the kids ,high all the time ,prostituting who self , stealing and doing crime to get money and high all the time ,in and out many ER’s.The codependency you give who drugs or money to get drugs even if she doing all of this has you feel sorry for her.

Is this codependency ? With opposite views of none codependency I feel sorry for you I’m going get rehab has you being a junkie?

I hear some drug users have this codependency.They get stuck in bad relationship of being caregiver but not helping the root of the problem.If so why are some people like that?

Best answer:

Answer by No
Codependency in adulthood is usually set up in childhood… The addict parent mind-rapes his or her child and makes the child become the care giver, assuming the roles that the parent should be filling… When the child is parentalized, they usually grow up to assume the same caregiver roll.
