To understand my this/past?

[Willthisworknow]

My mother often talks re controlling father. Addicted to,antidepressants (old style), nearly when didn't have them. His daughter ended up being an alcoholic (ie mothers younger sister). My mother has no addictions but has controlling behaviour. She is a pretty toxic person and I fell am showing traits myself.,is this a hereditary thing? So worried? Any labels for this as am having trouble relating to folk myself.

You grew up with a bad example of how one shout relate to other people, don't underestimate the impact of that on who you are today. You are not genetically doomed to having these issues, the fact that you can recognise it in yourself and worry about it is great - you have insight and can use that to change the way you interact with people. I think you would benefit a lot from some psychotherapy, would it be possible to arrange that?
