[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 738267, member: 16761"] Love that SWOT. My husband just found his bio family thru the Ancestry stuff and we are seeing this DNA vs nurture thing playing out in real life. My daughter wanted to know her heritage as she kind of has an 'ethnic' look and so does her father (my son and I are very typical fair haired Germans). It has answered so many questions and is thus far in my life, the most inspiring, educational experience I have ever been thru. It is not for this forum, but I will say that DNA is much stronger than I had ever imagined. And yes, my daughter's boyfriend has been abused and abandoned and he is just that more determined to lift himself up. And he wants to do this without bringing anyone that participated in that abuse down, although he does keep his distance because they are still criminals/addicts. He loves our home and our family. He says he feels safe. He even reached out to my son for friendship, and my son went nuts a few months ago accusing him of stealing from him, violent threats there too. About a month later, my son found whatever it was he thought was stolen and apologized but the damage had been done. Thank you Tired, I will also block my son for most of the day. We also have the online banking thing and it is too easy. I also told him at lunch that I could place and pay for a grocery pick up, but that is all I'm willing to do to help. Sometimes the technology can help in helping remotely. Of course, he hasn't taken me up on that, have a feeling all of his 'I'm starving and you don't care' bit is a ploy for drug money. Well, it's more than a feeling. Thank you all! [/QUOTE]
