thanks to my therapist I can now avoid taking personal responsibility for the screwed up choices I made in life and blame it all on my parents.....except when things go right, then I take all the credit for that. I learned and acquired way more good qualities from my screwed up family than bad. evidently so just a joke jonny I couldn't resist looking at the picture posted

the relationship your parents had when you were growing up have influenced the way you are in your relationships today? If at all. The simple fact is that the first relationship a person has is with their parent(s). Without one or both, life can be difficult at first. Hell, it's difficult sometimes even if one has well adjusted mentally stable parents. A child who is exposed to violence in childhood is significantly more likely to be exposed to, or participate in violence themselves, and conversely, a child exposed to selflessness is more apt to become much the same in adulthood. Regardless of our childhood, the moment we become an adult, it's our responsibility, not theirs.

Whether by osmosis you became your parent(s), or by conscious decision, extreme! dedication, and perhaps therapy , became UNlike them/him/her . . . Absolutely! After all we are a product of our environment and there's stronger influential environment than the one human 'godlike' parent are to the wee ones . . .

I am not even going to talk about my insane family. However, I will say that just because you were put on the potty backwards when you were three doesn't mean you can't turn your little ass around now.
