Codependence is a disease that deteriorates our souls. It affects our personal lives, our families, children, friends and relatives, our businesses and careers, our health and our spiritual growth. It is debilitating, and, if left untreated, causes us to become more destructive to ourselves and others.

Codependency happens to individuals when they try to obtain love or approval from others without caring for themselves. Healing consists of awareness, acceptance and change.
