Female Depression And Codependency

 By E.S. Villamor

 

A co-dependent woman is someone who ignores her own needs and tends to focus more on her partner's feelings, desires and concerns. If you are co-dependent, you are likely to think that you are the catalyst to your partner's ill feelings and that his well-being also depends greatly on you. If you presume that his needs are not met, then you are likely to experience feelings of anger, stress and guilt. This further develops into anxiety which can greatly affect the relationship.

But are there more co-dependent women than men? And why do these women behave like they do? If you think or if someone has pointed out that you are actually co-dependent, would you like to know how to be rid of this psychological issue?

The Bitter Causes

There are many causes of co-dependency in women but the chief reason behind this behavior often roots with a dysfunctional family.This means that a co-dependent woman was probably raised in a dysfunctional family. Researchers have proven that parents of co-dependents fall short in terms of being able to satiate their emotional needs especially when they were growing up. It may be because the parents are not present most of the time because of being too busy with their careers, alcoholism, the loss of a loved one, illness or even war. Co-dependent children's parents are also lost in their personal issues that they are no longer able to give ample time, care and love for their little ones. Compare the kids that come from families with both highly supportive parents and you could immediately see the huge difference.
