Is it normal for a mother /daughter relationship to be co-dependent ?

Is it normal as a female that all through your childhood , teenhood and your twenties you've ALWAYS had a Co-dependent relationship with your mother ? , i don't mean sexually i am talking about the mother / daughter relationship .
I would always want to make my mom happy ,and not look at what I WANT , i would obey and listen to her to satisfy her , i would NOT DO alot of "good"things i want because i feel guilty that she doesn't / can't do them , when she was crying or was sad i used to feel with her and get scared and anxious when my father used to fight with her , as though he was fighting with me . One time my sister joked and said "Are you attached to her in the hip "

        your mother has likely sacrificed alot to make you happy too. there is nothing wrong with being connected. embrace your relationship. life is not about making yourself constantly happy, its about the relationships u have w others.
