Actually research by I believe Dean Ornish is starting to question that. He has even had some people REVERSE with proper diet and lifestyle. Genes only load the gun, environment may play a roll in whether you pull the trigger. That said, I think OPs mom's other lifestyle factors are what help her. However, we have to be careful what we call a "grudge" vs being socially savvy and not a fool. When some one screws you over a bunch of times, whether directly or passive aggressively, best to remember and not hang out with that person. I also think  it's better to stop talking about it once time has passed, but if you are calling it a grudge because she won't see some friend or sibling or cousin and she has very valid reasons, I would use different language. It might be one of the ways she stays healthy is avoiding toxic people. That isn't a grudge, it's a smart choice.[/quote]

I agree with this, maybe your mom is just smart and avoids toxic people. What is a grudge after all? Resentment from past insult or injury as the dictionary says. Perhaps your mom has learned her lesson and is not stupid/naïve/brainwashed to step into the same pile again and again. I avoid certain people, I'm sure they say I'm holding a grudge. But as they say, when people show you who they are, believe them. [/quote]
