are you me? lol
my father’s side has autism, depression, anxiety, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and obesity.
my mother’s side has autism, adhd, anxiety, alcoholism/addictions and cancers galore.
i got every single one of those and been getting treatment for all of it decades now, plus the added “benefit” of knowing that i’ll be dead sometime in my late 60’s to early 70’s because of it; i’m middle aged now.
i dont think addictions are genetic
it depends on the addiction; alcoholism & gambling are.
I’m in a very similar boat. I’ve been telling my husband gently that almost nobody in my family makes it to 70…
there’s been 4 people (out of 64) that made it past 70; 3 have lived until 100 or so and they were all skinny, short men.
it’s galling to me that my father and brother inherited these genes and it’s worse that they’re both conservatives; by brother is fully blown trump supporter and i know that he’s going to attribute his longevity to living a “clean and god fearing” life unlike his wicked, commie, queer brother.
Got mental illness from my mom’s side, short legs and heart disease from my dad’s.
The doctor delivering me:
My brother got all the good genes, I got what was left
As a middle kid, I like to say that my older brother was the rough draft, I was the intended product, and my younger brother was the sad leftovers 😁
Enshittification
I’m also a middle child. My parents wanted a boy and a girl. They got my older brother, then got me (amab), so they adopted my younger sister.
Ur parents have good DNA?
