Death Of Greg's Best Friend

It's clear how much Teresa cares for Greg in this chapter. His behavior has left her pregnant, with no furniture and no transportation, yet she is clearly concerned, not for herself but for the emotional pain Greg experienced through the death of his best friend. Codependency is often described as an addiction to love. Teresa shows this by caring so deeply about her husband she will endure great pain and hardship to herself and still be more concerned over his feelings. Some codependents, will even sabotage the recovery of the person they love so they can continue to be able to show that "love" by fulfilling the person's needs.
