Has anyone made it thier life long mission to not be like your parent/parents but to find that you are just like them? Maybe you are and its hard to admit it to yourself?

It was never really my life long mission not to be like them, I could do far worse than to turn out like them. But sometimes it IS spooky when I realize just how much like my dad I am.
You got married at 17? Is that legal?
I'm completely the same way. I didn't grow up hating my parents or anything like that, but I am so much like my dad, it is scary at times.
With parental consent, I believe so.

I love my mom as a person, but yes, I DID make it a goal not to have four unsuccessful marriages like her. :?
She wasn't a bad parent, but she wasn't very awake to her children either, AND she wasn't good at being a wife. All I had were step fathers she dumped and I didn't like them for Various Reasons. (!!!)
I am different from her in that I am painfully aware of how much my children need stability from me.
However, she's a kind and ambitious person so I DO still love and admire her quite a bit.
Wow, exactly my story too..
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
Wait a minute, did you just say that your mom was married and divorced 4 times?? Didn't think that really happened in real life, wow..in any case, if I were you I wouldn't worry too much about not achieving that over/under goal

Yes, but to be fair, her third husband died and left her a widow. She probably wouldn't have divorced him because they loved each other. The other ones were too weak for her. :?
agreed.
i AM very much like my mother in many ways, kinda scary......but the parts of her, or my dad for that matter, that i don't really appreciate i do try and make a conscious effort to avoid. most of the time i am successful, but there have been times in my life where i worried i would end up like my mom. overall, not a bad thing...i had pretty great parents overall too, but there are certain aspects of both their lives - hers more than his - that i would not want to replicate, and hope i manage not to. when i see certain aspects of my father-in-law or brother-in-law in my husband tho, i do get scared! his family was/is beyond fucked......but he is well aware, and does NOT want to be like his dad, thank gawd.....and i hope he always manages to avoid it too!
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
YOUR children are going to say the same thing about YOU someday.
YOU mold THEM.
fuckin scary shit..........
