[quote=Anonymous]My sister is one and while certainly there are some positives, the overall impacts on her family are neutral to negative. She has always been a pleaser, and put others needs before her own, and she pours that into her kids. Looking in from the outside, The net result fifteen years into parenthood is that her physical health is horrible, her relationship with her husband has suffered, and three out of her four kids have been diagnosed with anxiety and are a weird combo of entitled and insecure. All their life everything has been about them and their happiness and well-being and while that seems nice, it’s not the best path to resilient, healthy adults. My sisters mental health is also starting to suffer. I love her dearly and it’s hard to watch. I’m sure there’s a genetic component for the anxiety that is also at play here (her martyr tendencies are at least partitially routed in anxiety, as it sounds yours are too).[/quote]
