Codependence is when someone becomes involved with and manipulated by someone else who has an addiction, or a psychological disorder. The codependent becomes involved to the extent that they begin enabling their partner's condition by, for example, making excuses for their behavior. The codependent may feel guilty when s/he has thoughts or feelings that conflict with the interests of their partner.
