Webster's Dictionary defines codependency as "a psychological condition or a relationship in which a person is controlled or manipulated by another who is affected with a pathological condition (as an addiction to alcohol or heroin); broadly: dependence on the needs of or control by another."
Well that stings. Seeing the words "Psychological condition" just makes my skin crawl. Who likes hearing they have a psychological condition? It would take way too much time and energy to research and understand this concept and I am just not up to that much work. The reality is, I already know I am codependent and yes, it is a sickness that is, at times, out of control. I really don't need to dig any deeper.
