I dont think that is a responsibility you want to take on and from what I can gather that would be codependent because your not making it a real relationship, your making it about saving someone.
I think I am codependent to a point but I genuinely just want to be there for him. I guess I just don't know how someone who has never been through addiction can help if at all. I do have romantic feelings for him so this may be why I'm trying to "save" him. I want what's best for myself naturally but I also want him safe and happy and drug free.
