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?
