How would someone explain Codependency to someone who is not in recovery?
The Webster definition is pretty spot on
Definition of codependency
: a psychological condition or a relationship in which a person manifesting low self-esteem and a strong desire for approval has an unhealthy attachment to another often controlling or manipulative person (such as a person with an addiction to alcohol or drugs)
broadly : dependence on the needs of or on control by another
