Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.

Karina Suero
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Are you stuck in the pattern of trying to protect your love one by giving in all the time? Are you finding that time again and again you have asked yourself to do it differently and you find that you cannot? Are you aware that you feelings of happiness in life are completely tied to how the other person is doing ? Is your life interrupted? One particular person has a problem? Does your heart skip a beat when the phone rings and you who is calling and you know what’s coming? It can be that your loved one has alcohol problem or a drug problem, or unable to grow up as an independent adult or that you can only be loved by your partner if you are the caregiver. Perhaps you have started feeling resentful about YOU being the one always caring, always protecting, always rescuing. Sometimes you ask yourself where are you in this equation.
I know it feels like there is no other way to live. I assure you that there is and that sharing responsibility in the relationship is freeing and brings space for creativity, playfulness, joy and connection without resentment.
I can help you move in that direction. Call me.

Lisa Vespico-Mull
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SAP, ICAADC
Codependency can be a normal reaction to dealing with a loved one with substance use disorder. It can also affect multiple relationships apart from addiction and can sometimes be engrained due to upbringing and other factors. I am aware of resources available to help address codependency issues as well such as literature and community programs. Often times, if we feel a lack of control, it is a way to engage but will be destructive to you and your relationships in the long run.
