The general psychological term is "enabler".

It is also applied to someone who makes it possible for a psychological or personality problem to persist. For example, a mother who provides food to her obese son, or a spouse who covers up for an alcoholic. This is likely to perpetuate the situation by taking responsibility for the person's acts or accommodating their problem behavior.
