Living With a Codependent? Or Living With an Alcoholic? Some Say There's Not Much Difference!

Living with a codependent family member can put an emotional strain on an entire family. Codependents are marked by their need to control others while striving for validation and acceptance. Sometimes, living with a codependent can resemble living with an alcoholic, as the environment can become unpredictable or volatile, and at its roots codependency is actually an addiction. Learning to cope with a codependent family member will benefit everyone involved, and can even influence your family member to begin steps toward recovery.
