Greg's Best Friend Died

Teresa's compassion for Greg is made clear in this chapter. Although his antics have left her pregnant, with no furniture and no transportation, she still spends a great deal of time describing the emotional upheaval Greg experienced through the death of his best friend. This chapter does a good job of explaining why codependency is often referred to as an addiction to love. She cares so deeply about her husband she will endure great pain and hardship to herself and still be more concerned over his feelings than her own. Some codependents, not Teresa, will 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.
