So, when I said I have a strong dependence on those people, I meant it's kind of like I can't function without them. I will rely on them to make small decisions for me, to keep me safe and comfortable, to remind it will be okay, all of that. Without that, I feel like I can't feel safe or comfortable, I get anxiety because I worry that things will go horribly wrong, especially something happening to one of the people I mentioned. I can't exactly think of a good example, but the best I got is like an owner and a dog. If the dog's owner isn't there, who is going to take care of it? Who will give the dog a safe, happy environment? How will the dog know right from wrong without someone to teach it? It's kind of like that when I'm in an episode. If I'm alone, who is going to take care of me? Who will make me feel like I am safe and okay. How could I possibly make a decision without that help? 

I hope this helped you to understand.
