Relationships are important. They add an extra layer of joy and fulfillment to our lives; they bring opportunities for growth and they build us up. They can't, however, fix whatever core wounds we bring with us to the relationship. Instead, we tend to replay dysfunctional relationship dynamics until we heal the root of the problem ourselves.
Codependency is an unhealthy form of dependency, but it's not dependency in and of itself that's the problem. There are healthy forms of dependency, otherwise known as interdependency, that make relationships stronger. But distinguishing codependency from interdependency can be tricky - especially if you haven't experienced many healthy relationships yourself.
