Codependency vs. Healthy Support
CODEPENDENCY
Making someone else's emotional state the center of your own identity. Rescuing to avoid your own discomfort. Enabling to prevent conflict.
HEALTHY SUPPORT
Caring deeply while maintaining your own identity. Allowing natural consequences. Loving someone without managing their recovery for them.
