How not to copy daddy?

[Rulll]

I don't want to become my fool dad. My mom who's a psychiatrist asked me once whether I was afraid to become like my father. Before, I never was worried about this, but now, I am, and I replied Yes to her question.

Now I'm realizing that I may become like my father because my subconscious copies his behavior.

Now I've got one more thing to worry about, damn mom..

I was unsure as to where to post that thread, I think this is the right place .. else feel free to move it away.

Thanks in advance for your replies

Of course, you do have some of your genetic material from your father as well as your mother. However, that certainly does not destine you to become like either of them. You are you - not your father or your mother. And personality (and behavior), while based on genetics, is not wholly determined by genetics.
