Am I Codependent - patterns and characteristics


"If you are new to CoDA you may be wondering "Am I codependent?" At CoDA, we offer no definition or diagnostic criterion for codependence. What we do offer is a list of patterns and characteristics as a tool to aid in self evaluation.

These patterns and characteristics are offered as a tool to aid in self-evaluation.
    They may be particularly helpful to newcomers." - quoted from official Co-Dependents Anonymous / CoDA website.  The link below will take you to the page on their site with the list.
