Re: Anyone else see this in their family members?
It is interesting. I definitely got it from my mom, but it came from her father, and then grandfather.
It is a strong enough of genetic signal that almost everyone has it. Like 90% of my relatives on that side of the family.
There are a couple of cases where only one sibling has it.
My niece picked up sympathetic dominance from my sister. But her brother (my nephew) seemed to picked up the laid back traits of her father.
It is a little heart breaking to see so many of my family members go through this. Most of them of just covering up symptoms with anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, sleeping pills, etc.
The other thing I noticed in my large family is that the youngest sibling is usually worse. From the reading of epigenetics I have been doing, it seems that older parents are more likely to have negative genes activated, and so the youngest siblings receives more negative genetic instructions.
