[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this just another word for codependent?[/quote] They get at the same idea, but use different language because enmeshment is more often used to describe dysfunctional family dynamics and codependency refers more broadly to relationships where one partner, or both partners, are relying on one another for emotional stability or, often, simply emotional feedback. Codependency is often used to talk about relationships involving drug or alcohol dependency, or other forms of addiction (often people in recovery will shift their reliance on alcohol or other substance to a reliance on another person, which is why codependency is a major part of recovery vocabulary as well as a big part of the AlAnon program). But they get at a lot of the same ideas around lack of boundaries and emotional reliance.[/quote] NP. Thanks to you and 16:07 (if you're not the same people) for posting. It's really helpful.
