For example, how is a battered women who thinks the battering is her own fault, and that it would stop if she were just a decent wife self-righteous? This type of behavior is often associated with very low self esteem, which is not associated with self-righteousness. It's closer to buying into the abuser's world. Bush's attack on Iraq may be faulted, but not as co-dependant. Those who's immediate response to 9-11 was asking "how did the US provoke this" exhibited behavior that could be labeled co-dependant.
