“Codependency is defined as a psychological condition or a
relationship in which a person is controlled or manipulated by another
who is affected with a pathological condition (typically narcissism or
drug addiction); and in broader terms, it refers to the dependence on
the needs of, or control of, another…Codependency may also be
characterized by denial, low self-esteem, excessive compliance, or
control patterns.[2]Narcissists are considered to be natural magnets for
the codependent.”
“interdependence – a reciprocal relation between interdependent
entities (objects or individuals or groups). This concept differs from a
dependence relationship, where some members are dependent and some are
not.
In an interdependent relationship, participants may be emotionally,
economically, ecologically and/or morally reliant on and responsible to
each other. An interdependent relationship can arise between two or more
cooperative autonomous participants (e.g. – co-op). Some people
advocate freedom orindependence as the ultimate good; others do the same
with devotion to one’sfamily, community, or society. Interdependence
can be a common ground between these aspirations.”
