I see know such thing. Dependence presumes a hierarchy which I do not understand to be inherent to being human at all. That does not leave the only other options Sartre or Rousseau. What about attachment? Why would attachment have to be thought as anything to do with dependence? Dependence is a product of a range of social institutions. Ways of thinking about parent-child relations for example.
