do your parents/family members influence how you love?

" I think I was born this way. It was destined. 'cause look at my parents, and my grandparents. They've heavily influenced me and my sister's view on love.

My grandparents are estranged. My Lolo is cheating on my Lola. I imagine they didn't have a very stable marriage when my mom was younger. So my mom married a man who swept her off her feet, and she treats him like a king, no matter what. My sister, seeing this, wanted the exact opposite, to not be a 'good little housewife.' So she treats her husband like an incompetent idiot most of the time. And me, growing up absolutely loving my dad, but not having him around enough/having enough attention from him, search for someone who will love me like my dad does, like his little princess.

I see. I think that even if you have no idea about her love life (refering to my mother), it's affected you more than you know. Because I realized just last year how alike my mom and I are. I had no idea. I'm almost exactly like her, in everything I do, don't do, want to do in a relationship. But I didn't find out until last year. Your parents, (and if you had older siblings) influence a lot of you, without you even knowing it. "

interesting, might i say.
