As children, your parents and family in some form or fashion influence everything you know. Most children want to be “just like” mom or dad when they grow up. Girls play with mom’s jewelry and make-up even if they have to sneak and do it. Both boys and girls put on mom or dad’s shoes and walk around in them. And one day…you grow up and realize you actually do not want to be anything like your parents at all!!!
As adults, we tend to discover our own paths, but there are still a few reminders of what we learned from our parents, especially when it comes to relationships and marriage. Some of us will use our parents’ influence wisely, regardless if it is good or bad, while others will use it as a crutch. Hadley, Terry’s oldest daughter from the movie The Upside of Anger, did not let her parents influence her decisions when it came to relationships. She dated, married and had children of her own. She could have easily thrown in the towel because the original thought was her father had left her mother for another woman. Fortunately, she did not let her parents’ issues dictate her love life. Will you?

I agree with you, but I must say that I only picked up mother and father dressing style. Mother can really dress;however,she was married twice and my father married three times.One thing for sure they did not give up on relationships. I guess my parents influence did not play a role in their children relationships because none of us ever married.
Interesting enough NO I don’t plan to let my mother’s relationship with my father dictate my life and my future. But I will say that I defiantly learned from my mother’s relationship with my father. My father was an alcoholic and passed away from the failing of his major organs. What I am trying to say is that I don’t every person that comes into my life but I am cautious. My boyfriend thank GOD isn’t a heavy drinker. My boyfriend/husband drinking would not be acceptable because I am afraid. If there were signs I would leave him. I think each individual is his or her own person. Some will allow their parents relationships control their destiny but not me!!!.
Your right parents to influence their children greatly. With being on my own I still remember things growing up that my mother and father did. Sometimes i find myself acting or thinking the some way. I can say I am different and view relationship a little different tan they did. in part my parents lpayed and influential part in my life.
