Hi there! I’m afraid I agree with David. I have been researching codependency for the past 6 years, got a Masters in it, and specialise in developing a therapy for it. This is at no point meant to be rude but there is nothing good about codependency. It’s not a matter of perception - it’s an addiction like any other st great cost to both individuals and at the expense of the relationship. What you describe as ‘good codependency’ is interdependence. Brooke Feeney did great research on it and called it the Dependency Paradox. I’m happy to talk to you about it should you ever want to. Kind Regards, Marlena
