Codependency and Dating Someone with Addictions

Mental Health Mavens

Codependency is often characterized by an unhealthy dependence on someone else. And what could be more unhealthy than being in a relationship with someone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol? Of course, there are many other signs of codependency, such as feeling responsible for your partner's happiness or making excuses for their bad behavior. But if you're constantly worried about your partner's drug or alcohol use, it's a good indication that you're in a codependent relationship.
In this episode of Mental Health Mavens, Angelica Smith, a codependency expert, covers what is codependency and what are its symptoms, as well as some tips for codependency and addiction.
