I wouldn't define "codependency" as a symbol of "strentgh" because in reality it is a weak force which feeds off the weakness of another in order to gain the strentgh needed to remain in place...
... The real strentgh lies within the codependent soul who recognizes that this lifestyle (codependency) is not healthy and begins the necessary steps to remove themselves from the clutches of this all-consuming addiction because "codependency" is addiction, my friend....
... Just as a heroin addict is addicted to heroin and an alcoholic is addicted to alcohol, a codependent is addicted to relying on abusive and controlling personalities who are either addicts or just down right low confident individuals with no insight whatsoever on how to love. Usually, these types of personalities, which are appealing to codependents, don't even love themselves. Likewise, many codependents who feel "chained" or "imprisoned" in these types of relationships are also guilty of not possessing the ability to love themselves just as their abuser doesn't because they, like their abusers, are addicts. Codependency is an addiction and should be treated as such...
... Codependency is also a learned behavior, it is not a behavior we are born with such as walking and talking and eating, but it is a behavior that is produced through unhealthy and negative lifestyles or upbringings such as being raised by addictive parents, authoritative parents, or both...
... Love is stronger because once a person has mastered the art of love, beginning with learning to love the self first, the happiness within their light is so bright and feels so good that they discover a new much more powerful endorphin-inducing addiction🌞⭐️

@Svarog: I wasn't speaking on behalf of the dependent who feeds off another's codependency so which "bus" did I miss?
