dependency/codependency - Answer-dependency: when abuser gets SO to do things
for them or make decisions for them
codependency: when the SO derives positive self-esteem from doing things for or
making decisions for the abuser
dependency/codependency - Answer-dependency: when abuser gets SO to do things
for them or make decisions for them
codependency: when the SO derives positive self-esteem from doing things for or

treating dependency/codenpendency - Answer-set limits and enforce them. agree in
advance what requests are allowed then enforce the agreement
work on the self-esteem of the codependent person

work on the self-esteem of the codependent person
, manipulation - Answer-when abuser gets the SO to do things for him/her that are no in
the best interest of the SO. nature of the act is dangerous or harmful to SO

the best interest of the SO. nature of the act is dangerous or harmful to SO
treatment of manipulation - Answer-set limits and enforce them
easier to treat than dependency/codependency because no body likes being
manipulated
