How do we escape it? It's inevitable but can we overcome some of the issues that

plague us and our children? I am scared!! I DON " T want to end up like my Mother.

My husband I'm sure has adult add, my son with his ocd/anxiety and my middle guy

who shows passive/aggressive behavior and oh yea my oldest (33 yr. old) who has

had a learning disability all his life. If we could pick the DNA of our kids

would they be perfect? No, there is no such thing as perfect, right? Maybe we

just have to accept the hand that was dealt to us and make the most of each and

every day. I'm sure that education and awareness can help tremendously. Our

parents and grandparents didn't have the resources or information/tools to use

in terms of their health. My Mom tells me that what she inherited from her

Mother will skip over me. Sure can't sit around and wait to see if that comes to

be. To quote my yoga instructor, " just do it " don't say I'll try, " just do it "

she's right. If not today, then when? Okay, I need to stop myself here. Sorry

for carrying on so long.
