Stephen King is your avatar! I love him! Anyways, back to topic...
Quote:
Codependency (or codependence, interdependency ) 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 (as in an addiction to alcohol or heroin); and in broader terms, it refers to the dependence on the needs of or control of another.
Unfortunately/fortunately this is close to what I've experienced, but not quite. I know people who have suffered full-blown Codependency, though.
