Codependency comes from believing that you need to be connected to a dysfunctional person that treats you in dysfunctional ways — for whatever reason. And it comes from being so sure that you can’t lay down a boundary because if you do, the sky will fall and you can forget about ever being happy again.
Anger, on the other hand, is nature’s signal that a boundary has been encroached upon, or violated.

When the personal boundaries aren’t healthy, break down, or don’t exist — it’s a codependent relationship.
When the boundaries are healthy, breathable, and strong — it’s an interdependent relationship.
So the key to ending a codependent relationship is using your anger to set and maintain healthy personal boundaries that protect your livelihood and well-being

End a codependent relationship not by focusing on separating from the other person, but by reconnecting with who you are.
