Interesting set of questions.

In a loving relationship though, is codependence such a bad thing? A long, happy and loving relationship often has respectful codependence at its roots, IMHO.

I can think of my late parents, my late in-laws and friends and relations who have been married forever to the one person and there is a mutual dependence there which looks like two halves making the whole soul. I've been contentedly married for 47 years and yet a psychologist told me I am codependent as if it were a sin. I decided I really didn't care because it felt good and right.
