I need some info regarding addiction disorder. My sister has been diagnosed with this condition and I am still trying to comprehend what is going on. I mean, we did have problems with our mother being over protective, but I never imagined it could end like this. Can you tell me if a passive person is actually an addictive person?
I admit that an addictive disorder is not something I had a direct link with, although I did hear of a friends' friend who suffers from this condition and it is not a mild illness at all. Addictive persons almost cannot function without the presence of the object of addiction, which is commonly a parent, or some other person close to the patient. Usually, they are not aggressive, are very passive, and decision making is left to the others.
