Codependency

One major cause for becoming codependent is growing up in a family that's affected with some kind of addiction. I didn't realize that I grew up in a family with addiction because the person who I thought was the closest person to me that was an addict was like my great grandpa and I didn't realize that that kind of trauma gets passed down through the generations. So my grandma became very codependent because her dad was an alcoholic and then her daughter, my mother, was very codependent and then I became very codependent.
