There is just one problem with this definition. I am co-dependant and I am always asked, "how can that be when you have everything so together." People assume that because I am an intelligent female with a good job and my life looks good on the outside, everything is alright. They don't understand that just because I am a strong individual with definate ideas, opinions, and personality that I could "fall prey" to co-dependency. I feel some of it is learned. My mother is co-dependent along with suffering from depression and OCD. I also feel some comes from how we define ourselves. After having graduated from college and becoming a nurse my self-esteem was at it's greatest, but so was my "need" to care for others. It is so hard sometimes to balance everything! Thanks for the post!
