Codependency

Two people derive pleasure and pain from the other/ This dependency often goes both ways.

I didn't know until I looked into it. Codepency is an issue with parents and children, husbands and wives, siblings and good friends. It's a situation that is difficult to break. It's not a healthy way of life. It feeds both people's emotional; needs. In some ways, it can provide emotional support. when it gets out of control, one person is controlling the other's life.
