    Is codependency really the right word to use when faced with systemic oppression?

      Absolutely not. It’s the commonly used term to describe the relationship between the abuser and abused in psychotherapy. It’s always bothered me too. The term in that context is misleading IMHO. It’s the one they use though. Definite ly not good for systemic oppression.
