Impact of Codependency on Children's Development

A codependent and over-functioning parent can contribute to the development of dependent personality disorder in their children. The behaviors modeled by a codependent parent, such as denial, minimization, and enabling, can uphold addiction patterns in the family. Children in such families may struggle with emotional regulation and may learn to be overly dependent on others for problem-solving.
