I am in a Dependent Relationship when I am dependent on someone else for what I need.
My needs may be physical, mental or emotional.
I am dependent on another due to my physical incapability, my emotional incompetence or my mental incapacity.
When I rely on another for my emotional energy or my mental ability to choose for myself, I am in a dependent relationship.
We are all born into a dependent relationship with our parent or guardian.
As a baby, my parents attended to all my physical needs, met my emotional needs and made all my choices for me.
Dependent relationships continue until a level of independence is attained mentally, emotionally & physically.
