[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 686484, member: 1550"] Genetics is huge. I did not have good parents, but I dont blame them for my relentless mood disorder and terrible anxiety other than passing some bad genes that are in my family tree. I am an adoptive mom of three and and amazed by how different they are from myself and each other, although I raised them the same. One is a creatively gifted and smart and shy young adult who loves to cook and has a real knack for knowing just the right touches. She is also my most adventurous and did do drugs once. She did NOT get any of that that from me...lol. One is calm, level headed and always had her head screwed on right and is a gifted athlete. Didnt get that from me or her dad. One is on the autism spectrum and so calm, loving, sweet and hardworking...we hear how wonderful he is all the time. He is unique. My bio. Son is brilliant but hampered by severe anxiety and had such bad Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) once he couldnt finush college. But his son will. There are many brilliant people un my family and very nervous ones too. He is so like his DNA family, but more prone to being unhapoy than my other kids.He is also very successful in his work life and never shuts up, like me...lol. It is interesting. I have close relationships with all my kids. They are all like me in certain ways, but I think its coincidence. I value them all for the different and wonderful people they are snd the many gifts they all have, but they are very different. I love them equally and would die for any of them. Environment counts too bit in my opinion not as much. I have been a NAMI member for years. Just my usual worthless .o2. [/QUOTE]
