Far from the tree, no? Well, of course there are exceptions. Our Twins' Mom has a sibship with many challenges, and she became a medical professional. But often, sad and familiar patters form. Here in Maine, among the less well off folks, obesity runs among women in the family. Striking to see it if one ever meets grannies, aunts, sisters and girl kids, all with above 35 BMR's. Sadder yet is early, un-married pregnancy, often in early teens. I see it as cultural, typically seen as normal in generations of family lore. Granny, mom, and daughters all with child at 16, and on public support. But other dynamics are in the causal loop. A defiant sense of twisted pride. Not deviating from the family, or seen as somehow uppity. Probably lots more.
All, before I need to don the helmet and flack vest, sure, patterns exist in us men as well. Boys who live with abusive, alcoholic fathers are at risk for same as well. Same with prison. But oddly, in some cases, these experiences can also create tea totalers, who never spend time behind bars. Lots more. Cultural as well?
The lumpenproletariat were a lot off before all these choices in the shops and a career was as simple as turning up a factory. Each new generation is asked to be that bit less stupid and it cuts off the bottom of society, you have to appreciate the increasingly complicated world these decreasingly functional families are in.
well the key is to be enough of your own person to want better for yourself and your children and to work to break those cycles....when we become adults we all have choices you can continue the family dysfunction or you can seek an end to it.....

Blood doesn't turn to water they say... Exception exist, when you remove the person from the original habitat... But the person can easily slip into presumed state if close to something that reminds them of their origin...

Krem, it mainly depends on the individual, how much u've suffered, and how thin is the blood.....
