Codependency is when 2 people "co" both "use" each other in unhealthy ways. So, it's much harder to get codependency on here. I don't think nurturing can become codependency. We all need nurturing and attention and that's on a continuum so some people want/need more and other's less; kind of like various other "vitamins" :-)

Wouldn't it be nice if there were nurturing vitamins? I guess in a sense there is, because the more we take care of ourselves, eat right and exercise and go to therapy and join other activities and talk to other people (like here at PC) the less likely we are to be codependent because we don't have enough "room" for that other person who takes up too much of our time either trying to get from them or trying to "give" to them inappropriately so we can feel good.
