Family of Origin issues II

Family is not destiny, but you already knew that.

Family of origin issues can be really quite important, but like everything... you have some control. For example, Heather's parents moved away from their hometown and their parents when they got married. They wanted to start their own traditions, free from family meddling. They fully expected we would do the same thing when we got married, but we didn't. We consciously decided we wanted to be near family, because we like them, because our own parent don't meddle, and because we wanted our children to grow up with their grandparents. Oh yeah, and because we wanted the childcare!

As long as you are aware that there are things like family of origin issues, you can choose to change them in your new family.

Happy Couples, Happy Planet!
