[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are statistics that the children of divorced families are more likely to be divorced, so yes dysfunction in that respect is “hereditary”. Other than that I think it comes down to self awareness. If an adult knows their family is dysfunctional and sets good boundaries/does the work to avoid enmeshment I think they have as good a chance as successful marriage as anyone else, perhaps better because self awareness is very good for other relationship issues as well.[/quote] And people whose parents were/are cheaters are 75% more likely to cheat. And people whose parents had addiction/mental illness are more likely to face problems with addiction/mental illness. Add to that, many of these issues don't start becoming an issue until these kids reach middle age with children of their own. The repressed trauma can cause them to some of the things their parents did which they swore they never would do.[/quote]
