Dear Dahn:

Our brains are formed during our childhood years, aka our Formative Years. Thousands of connections between brain cells are formed, many of them, and the most significant, are formed as a result of our witnessing of our parents and interacting with them.

It is not about “blaming (your) parents”, it is about understanding what motivates you, understanding those brain connections, and working toward changing what needs to be changed so that you function better and better in life.

Let me know if you are interested in understanding more by examining further your experience with your mother. This is where the information that matters is.
