It's interesting just how much our upbringing can shape our later life, and our choices in general. And it doesn't seem to matter a lot whether or not people have been in therapy or not... these patterns are laid in at a very early age.
I agree with you @denmarkguy,children learn from a very young age. That's why parents have to be so careful how they behave in front of little ones, children mimic their parents. I find that parents today though, are so different to when we were young. I see it with my girls and their children, they seem to debate with them, they seem to be more mature these days. I don't know if it's a bad thing. The children seem well mannered and grounded.
I find human behavior very interesting. Thank you for your input,have a great day.
