Philosophy talk:
1) today, I am going to cover a few topics that are generally not spoken of together, & describe an interplay of wheels with wheels, or some of the complex gearing behind a certain portion of human psychology. I will start by saying I am not a psychologist, I
2) study patterns for a living, & while I also practice medicine, I am not your medical provider.
Ok, let’s start with a few common phrases, I am sure u have heard a few of these:
A) “We have a family history of xyz medical disorders.”
B) “the sins of the fathers will be

3) committed against 7 generations of sons (not a biblical reference in this case).
C) “you are acting just like your father/ mother.”
D) “I sound like my parents”
E) nature vs nurture

4) of disease.”
That should set the stage enough, for this piece.
So, we have a genetic pre-disposition to carry the same genes as our ancestors, both their failures & their successes. If there is a history of heart disease or cancer in one’s family, that is noted in one’s

5) medical history. These days, genetics are treated like facts, and facts are easy to document with the right tests. However, we know that a genetic pre-disposition does not always mean a person will get a disease, they just have a higher chance than average of getting a
6) a disease.
Less easy to document is a history of family behavior. Was mom or dad violent? Did they yell & scream but not commit violence? Did they beserk & commit violence & say things that they could not remember afterwards? Did they punish by beating a child, isolating a

7) Child, yelling at a child? Where did that behavior come from? Was it learned from a previous generation? Or was it spontaneous? Was it simply a natural escalation of punishment that was ignored by the child, until the parent decided that they would give the child something
8) that they could not ignore? Or was it “beat” into them by their parents? And where did the parents of the parents learn that behavior? How many generations can it be tracked back to? The sins of the fathers/ mothers are taught to the children of those parents. Those sins,
9) become a hereditary response to certain situations, usually situations of conflict. When a new parent comes into certain a new situation with a child, they instinctively respond in the way that they were treated as a child, it is the response that they were taught, through
10) their parents actions. “I sound like my father/ mother.” Actually, for that brief instant of fight or flight, when the parent let what they were taught take over, they became their own parents, & even if it only happens once, the sin has been passed down to yet another
11) generation. Thus, a family becomes a family of berserkers, a family of ragers, a family of screamers, because not a single generation thought to think it through, about how they were perpetuating the lineage of sin. They didn’t stop to think how it made them feel the first
12) time mommy or daddy screamed at them, how much trauma it created in their life, how it stopped their emotional growth in certain ways as a child, & how they were now perpetrating the same sins onto their own children. They did not stop to think about how they were fostering a
13) legacy of sin upon their own children passed down from their parents, the parents of those parents, etc. All it takes is one individual within a chain of lineage to break the family curse, by consciously choosing to not behave the way their parents treated them when they are
14) engaging with their own children. Now, this also spans not just from parent to child, but parent to parent, spouse to spouse. The question is: has the person who has been traumatized so normalized the trauma, that the behavior seems normal to them, when to any other rational
15) person, the behavior is erratic & the kind of behavior that highly functioning people see as immediate red flags. U see, erratic behavior is no different emotionally than having the innate sense about bad genetics. All species have an inherent background operating system that
16) helps individuals in that species select a mate. The most obvious genetic traits are strong, healthy, good teeth, good hair, & then socially the ability to have a good paying job, or in the animal world to be a good hunter, or forager, etc. Genetic weaknesses are generally
17) avoided: sickly in appearance, unhealthy, many diseases, inability to hunt or forage, inability to store or save, etc. Thus the various species survive generation to generation. So too for emotional lability & lack of emotional stability which leads to violence or violent
18) like behavior, these behaviors make a mate unattractive to a functioning person in the same way that someone who is sickly is unattractive. I am not saying all will avoid them, because people who are emotionally volatile, tend to attract other emotionally volatile people, &
19) then they beget emotionally volatile children, because the children learn from the parents that emotional volatility is normal. However, when those same parents recount their traumatic incidents as children with their own parents, when they are recounting their experience
20) from that place of trauma, if asked if they wanted their child to feel the same way, they would say they wouldn’t, but then when they are outside of their trauma & in their place of anger, they perpetuate the trauma.
