Codependency and Addiction: How It Destroys Families (and How to Break Free in Christ)

If you love someone struggling with addiction, you may feel stuck trying to fix, control, or carry what was never yours to hold.

In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I talk with Steve Rotermund about codependency and addiction—and how it can quietly destroy families. Steve shares his story of walking through his wife’s addiction, 13 years of codependency, and the impact on his marriage, children, and faith.

This conversation looks at addiction from a different angle, not just the person struggling, but those living in the middle of it.

We discuss what codependency really is, how it shows up in everyday life, and why trying to “fix” someone else can lead to deeper brokenness.

If you’ve ever felt responsible for someone else’s emotions or choices, this episode can help.
