Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I really did not know how to word this question. I 100% do not want to inherit any traits from my nada but, what happens if one day I wake up and my brain chemistry has absorbed so much from her, that I start doing some things like her? Does that make sense? My husband and even my husband's family say I am nothing like her and never will be like her. My grandmother was a positive role model and people say I take after her, god I pray so! The anxiety level is huge, I often catch myself double checking my sense of self, to make sure not even a hint of her has come through in me. Will therapy help? Because I was diagnosed with cancer at age 13, I have experienced therapy but, never really to focus on issues about my mother. Isn't that strange? It was like I thought she could her me. All my life she guilted me into sharing every detail about my life, my conversations, everything with her. Therefore, maybe by avoiding talking about her in therapy I wouldn't have to talk to her about it. Just wondering if anyone felt this way or how to work on these feelings. Thank you.
