“No single example illustrates the typical codependent or his or her experience. Codependency is complex. People are complex. Each person is unique, and each person’s situation is different. Some people have extremely painful and debilitating experiences with codependency. Others don’t and may be only mildly affected. Sometimes codependency is a person’s response to another person’s alcoholism; sometimes it isn’t. Each codependent has a unique experience born from his or her circumstances, history, and personality.”
