Thanks for posting this Dechan. I never really knew exactly what this term meant either. As was mentioned above, everyone is dependent on someone. I suppose there are instances of clear, damaging co-dependence. But in many cases I suspect that co-dependence, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder.

By the way, another term I see used constantly here on PC that I'm not sure I really understand is "dissociation". Actually, when it comes right down to it, I guess there are a lot of these "psych terms" I really don't fully understand. Maybe I'm just old...
