Why do some people become so angry?
Defining codependency
The codependent person is basically addicted to an addict. The codependent can become so obsessed with the need to care for and control the addict that they ignore and deny their own feelings, desires, and needs.
The codependent will tell lies for the addict, make excuses for unexcusable behavior, and even blame themselves for the addicts behavior and attitude.
Eventually, codependents becomes angry and bitter because they feel unappreciated and used. As a result, they often work harder to make the addict behave, creating an endless cycle of pain and disappointment.
