There is a sort of meta-dependence occurring, though, where the speaker is suggesting that the person has become reliant on (habituated to) a lifestyle that is itself characterized by reliance. That’s where it gets really tricky. | |

For example, "My baby cannot change it's nappy, it is dependant on me to do it for her" Whereas an adult being dependant on his parents would most probably mean financially as he or she would be capable of most things in life, unless of course they had some physicality that prevented them from not be independent. | |
