Yes, and it’s more than that. You inherit these unprocessed situations. If your mother didn’t solve it because her mother didn’t because her mother didn’t, etc, you’ll either have to solve it yourself or your children will.
For instance, my aunts inherited from their mother the need to marry a physically abusive drunk. But my mother managed to overcome that generational need. As a result, her daughters never had violent alcoholics (or any sort of alcoholics) anywhere on the horizon.
The most mind-blowing part is that you don’t have to know about these situations in order to inherit them.
So if you wonder why you keep ending up in the same situation, please know that it’s the most normal thing imaginable. Everybody does it. And some people overcome the problem and exit the pattern. That’s where real freedom lies.
