You said it's a family member, which you did not state initially. That is why everyone was asking the question: why does this matter to you so much? Now it makes a bit more sense.

I understand, but it's called "psych" not "7 cups"
and in other posts I made some people offered me articles to read.
So there are people here that can give me articles for what I'm looking for.
And the fact is that you and others gave me the type of answers I was looking for: what type of personality displays this pattern of behavior and what kind of damage this does to those around them. Insecurity, yes, anxious attachment, yes, enmeshment, yes. How damaging it is? I now have a starting base to look for.
"But is she your family? Why do you care? Who are you?".
Who cares? It's a general question about behaviors. She could be my mother, my daughter, my sister, my neighbor, cousin, aunt, it's irrelevant.
thank you
