What is the theme in Dorothy Parker: What Fresh Hell Is This? by Marion Meade?

Co-dependency is another theme in the story. Co-dependency pertains to a relationship in which one person is physically or psychologically addicted to alcohol or gambling, and the other person is psychologically dependent on the first in an unhealthy way. Co-dependency is a theme in Dorothy's life not only with her relationships with men but also with alcohol and other substances. As with many artistic geniuses, Dorothy, while capable of producing outstanding writing beyond the capability of regular people, is incapable of handling the mundane aspects of her life such as housekeeping and paying her bills.
