I like the article because it questions the premise and applicability of CD definitions outside of a relationship with an addict, ie, maybe Interdependence is what takes place in a non-addict relationship...not Co-dependance.

Interdependence is where I see healthy relationships striving towards, and actually needing to thrive...yes, my M and I had some CD issues due to years of complete enmeshment...especially after phase 1 of W's mlc tunnel-diving and the affair that I was still trying to recover mySELF from before phase 2.

This board and the books (DR, SSM, NMMNG, etc) have helped me recover and grow to where I don't think interdependence will slide back down to co-dependance again.
