The hallmark of co-dependency is enabling, which is defined as a set of behaviors that support substance abusing behaviors. Some enabling behaviors may be calling in to work for the substance abuser because he/she are hung-over, giving the substance abuser money knowing he/she will buy alcohol/drugs, or making excuses to extended family members when the substance abuser does not attend a family function.
