- It sounds like she's just wrapped up in him ... if she hasn't let go after ten years, she may never. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:15 3
  - It's all based around money and financial stuff -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:16 2
    - Not that I know the dynamic, but ... people who focus on that sort of thing do so because it's one of the few straws they have left to grasp at. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:16 1
      - i completely believe this -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:18
- Not to any great extent, no. (Sorry if you thought I meant that.) -- nm - mara Mar 13, 16:15 5
  - Then I don't understand what you mean -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:15 4
    - I meant she's codependent. (But maybe I'm using the word wrong.) I agree with b*rycumber above, anyway. -- nm - mara Mar 13, 16:20 3
      - Everyone uses the word wrongly; I think you might have used it correctly. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:24 1
        
        The codependent is a person who perpetuates the alcohol or drug dependence of someone close to them in a way that hampers recovery. -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:25
      - i think that would make her the dependent :) but maybe i'm wrong -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:21
