What is "codependency," and how does it affect a recovering behavioral addict?

Codependency is a lay term that just really means that there is a less than healthy relationship between you and a significant person to yourself, to the point where that significant person fosters (not actively) the continuation of the destructive behaviour. Codependency implies that there is a cohort; an individual who won't necessarily say go ahead and engage in it, but through their passivity, through their making money available, will endorse the involvement in the destructive behaviour.
