  First, let’s first look at co-dependency. Co-Dependency Codependency is defined as “a behavioral condition in a relationship where one person  enables another person’s  addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement.” The co-dependent is obsessed with making things right. They lose themselves in this process, and they lack personal boundaries, which are essential for their overall wellbeing. As a co-dependent, the individual values the approval of others  more than they value themselves. This often results in  lower self-esteem. Co-dependency is not healthy, and studies show that close to 90% of the American population demonstrates some areas of co-dependency. “   Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand-brake on . Maxwell Maltz If the individual you’re in a relationship with does not want to help themselves, despite the words they say,  you have to learn to walk away before you destroy your entire life  for someone who doesn’t ev
