I come from the above. The effects have been devastating and affected every aspect of family members lives to the detriment. My mum has a brilliant team of mental health workers looking after her and one of them suggested my dad may be codependent. I didn't know what codependent was so I looked it up. Check, check, check..... I have been therapised since I was a teenager and never come across codependency. I'm not sure really what to think, apart from I have no desire to start going to Coda www.coda-uk.org/index.php?page=patterns-characteristics-of-co-dependency meetings.
