Hi! I've been diagnosed with this as well, but I have doubts. I mean, well maybe not, but I know a major factor of it is that my husband is the breadwinner and drives me to appointments...well, the latter might be a combo of me thinking I need him as well as him preferring that I not be alone when going out. But yeah so the agreement we made was that he's the head of the household and makes the money and makes most of the decisions. I do let go of issues I have sometimes because I don't want to rock the boat if you will, but at the same time, I often simply just trust his judgment. So, is the dependency a choice or a personality disorder. I think both, but more so a choice so I wonder if I've been misdiagnosed. Anyway, I'm here though and as you said, this isn't a very well known disorder, so any insight we can share with each other is great!

Also, just want to put this out there, anyone on this board who wants to PM or friend me, feel free! Take care!
