Basically it means that you need someone/something in you life as a means of stability. You need a crutch. Most of the time it's because of self confidence issues. Just a tip(if it's needed) You are NEVER as horrible/ugly/fat... as you think you are. You don't need any ones approval other than your own because in the end you are the only one you can truly depend on.

If your family is insisting that you cut all ties with this person there must be a good reason. It is very difficult to watch someone that you have watched grow and taught to be a strong and independent individual be crushed by a co dependent relationship. your family only wants the whats best for you. And although you may not see it at the moment, there will come a time when you realize they are only trying to save you from pain and heartache. They must be seeing more bad than good to be the outcome. Think about it, is this person really worth you possibly ruining a bright and happy future with a friend or significant other that won't give you heartache? Just remember not only is it hurting you but it is also hurting the people who love you the most, your family.

There are different kinds of independence, but you're right. We usually rely on other people for some things. For instance, some people are independently wealthy, and they make all their own money. They don't live off of anyone else's earnings. But, they're probably dependent on their friends or family for other things, like when they need advice. Nobody is totally independent, except maybe for hermits.

Try taking a trip, visit people you haven't seen in a while (specially because of him), make new friends, suscribe yourself into some kind of activity you like and read a lot about being co-dependent.  This will help.  Also therapy and being selfish for the first time in your life.
