I don't think anyone in my family was addicted. They may have had some issues with drinking, but I don't think they were addicts.
I've been reading and explored co-dependency when I was in IC and even thought I may have some of the tendencies, but I'm not toally co-dependent. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see where having a significant other in your life, to share and to love is wrong. I believe it's a problem when you think that being in a relationship makes you feel that you're a whole person. I don't think I do that. With that being said, I like being in a relationship. I like the security, the companionship and someone that you can count on. That's not co-dependent is it? If it were, then all married people are co-dependent.
