This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
The spouse of an alcoholic pours all the alcohol in the home down the sink. What type of behavior is evident?
A. Enabling
B. Tolerance
C. Codependence
D. Use of defense mechanisms
Answer:
The behavior that is evident is:
C. codependence.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can define codependency as the type of relationship in which one partner is constantly responding to the extreme needs, be them physical or emotional, of the other partner. A codependent spouse, as the one mentioned in the instructions, may define his/her self-worth in taking care of the other. This type of person needs to be needed, which may very well interfere with their own lives and self-care. This spouse is pouring all the alcohol in the home down the sink as a way of taking care of the other's addiction.
