How We Become Our Parents And Our Children Become Us by Dpsychologist: 4:37pm On Jun 19, 2023
With years of research and observation, I noticed that we become our parents and our children Become Us. Not only genetically but also environmentally.

Children learn alot from their parents and unless the children actively despise the parents attitude and resolved to be the opposite they end up becoming like those parents.

Since this is a romance section, we will focus on love.
When there is no love shown between the parents, it creates insecurity in their children as though they don't have anything to offer.

When children grow up around parents that do not show love to each other, children in turn perpetuate that in their own relationships in the future.

Parents stay together for years without showing the proper example of a loving, healthy relationship to their children. This in turn makes kids think: That’s just the way things are.

Whatever unhealthy relationships parent have ,the kids will most times have a clue by the time they reached their own teenage dating years.

I had one friend who was married to a girl that he got pregnant at the age of 16 or 17. Over the years, what may have seemed like love at first, turned into a marriage solely for the sake of the children.

He began to have an affair. She started gaining weight – a lot of weight.
She was seeking her happiness in food and using it to fill her up with that feel good sensation she was missing in her marriage.

At a wedding for a mutual friend, both the husband and wife got into a fight and bark each other. Consequentially both of their boys were extremely obese, very unhappy, and had very low self-esteem.

These children hadn’t even reached their dating age and they were already caught in the same trap of misery perpetuated by their parents. They will probably end up seeking out the same type of relationships for themselves, never knowing that there can be better for them.

They will end up perpetuating the pain for another generation.
Parents may think they are staying together for the sake of the children, but kids need to see parents in happy, loving, supportive relationships. The choices you make in your relationship life can certainly have an impact on the other people around you, especially the
kids.

There is also the impact on yourself to consider, as well as the happiness of the other person in the relationship.
If you are not growing together in a direction, then maybe you need to consider going your separate ways so that you can continue to grow.

The ultimate impact in a relationship that involves children is how they carry their own relationship knowledge forward with them, into the next generation.

Your legacy to your children should be learning what healthy love looks like, not only in your love for them, but in your love for your partner. Your example is what sets the way for
them to find the same kind of love in their lives in the future.

Ultimately, the only way to see healthier relationships around us is to be a part of building our own happiness and letting it follow forward through the next generation.

Our children should see love between us and our spouse.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.' Carl Jung

You just explained further the brilliant quote above by a Swiss legendary psychologist. Brilliant. Hence it's always good to check the family background of anyone you want to spend your life is.

Why does it feel like you stopped short of suggesting divorce can also be a way of showing LOVE? undecided

We are all trying to get love or give love in everything we do. It is
a natural part of human nature.

How we look for love, and what kind
of love it is that we look for can depend on how we were raised.

It can
also depend on what we have come to understand about ourselves and
the things that become important to us in our lives.

Perfectly said, a lot of parents have already broken their kids emotional and mental reasoning when it comes to relationships and marriages.
