Also, blaming yourself for external problems is pretty much the classic reason for staying in abusive relationships.

A healthy and functional person has developed appropriate boundaries that enable them to say yes to what's good and no to what's bad. An internal locus of control enables a person to say no to abusive relationships and yes to life enhancing relationships.
The person you're describing can't tell the difference between their own problems and other people's problems, and therefore has low quality boundaries and a dysfunctional locus of control and is quite codependent.
