Learned Helplessness. Happens alot all around. I see it a lot in disability care. SO much that there is a saying: "Suplemental disability caregiver" (Zusatzbehinderung Eltern). Might be a schock to the more socially oriented people. But the fact is, the more help you allow to be provided to you, the more you forget/unlearn how to handle things on your own. Which in the end, will make you hyperdependant on others.
