[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 641799, member: 1550"] Headlights, this is certainly the case with 37. But my other children were adopted and are extremely awesome people. 37 is not half as bad as he could have been. But, yes, a lot of what our children become is, in my opinion, inherited. And scientists are beginning to agree that personality disorders run in families, even if the child is adopted into a "normal" family and has had no contact with her DNA collection. My DNA horror story is the reason why my ex and I decided not to have anymore biological children. We could tell early that 37 would have temperament issues. In our case, the decision was basically a GREAT one. There is Julie, Sonic and Jumper, all the sweetest young adults on the face of the earth. My saving grace was being the black sheep so not so included. Also, at a very young age, I had an uncanny ability to analyze human behavior and I knew by age six that something was not right with myself (I had sooooooooo much anxiety and sadness...probably inherited) and my parents were soooooooooo not like those of my friends. I used to have fantasies that I was adopted and that my "real" family would come for me. But I looked just like my mother, something I still don't like...lol. In my heart I knew I was part of that DNA mess. I tried very hard to overcome my genetics a nd I believe people can change, but your hardwiring is what it is and it takes A LOT OF HARD WORK to learn how to be so-called normal if you are differently wired and, on top of it, never lived with what is supposed to be normal...thanks for your comments.
