[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I agree with you OP. 
I also noticed that people who didn't learn how to build relationships with their family usually don't know how to do it with their children. My MIL doesn't talk to her brother or her sister. Each ruined relationship has its own reason. Now she has very bad relationship with all of her children. She doesn't know how to communicate, and just shuts down and stops talking excpecting people come to her.[/quote]

My experience is the opposite.  People who have chosen not to have relationships with those who are toxic/unhealthy model better behaviors than those who continue to allow themselves to be treated poorly.  My MIL cut off her mother because of the drama, manipulation and disparate treatment they showed my DH and his siblings.  Yet, she's a fabulous mother, MIL and grandmother.  Seriously, I couldn't ask for better MIL.[/quote]

Well in psychology it's known fact that people with damaged childhood can't rely on childhood memories in difficult times of their life. There are also other side effects, sometimes invisible for other people if the person really working on himself. But overall people with damaged relationships from childhood are more prone to depressions and accepting/being their true self.[/quote]
