Results of Codependency

Codependent behaviors go beyond helping and caring for others. They are self destructive in that the codependent's personal needs and wants are never acknowledged or satisfied.

The codependent desires validation from others and seeks it in other emotionally unhealthy people. The illness of addiction breeds only more addiction often in the form of co-addiction (codependency).
