Is it likely I'll develop disorders when I'm much older?

[Anonymous]

I have a terrible family background with crazy people. My maternal great-grandmother's father was a criminal and crazy. My great-grandmother (mom's grandma) used to drown puppies during her youthful years and later turned out to be a narcissist and crazy. My grandma turned out normal (though, traumatized from how her mother was) but my own mother developed some narcissistic traits. My mom nearly ruined my father's life during an ugly divorce. She tried to have with him falsely charged with sexual assault. Luckily it was recorded about her accepting it's false but wants to ruin him.

I've heard mental disorder are inheritated. It's already bad enough that I physically looked like mom. I'm scared of becoming like them or turning out crazy or emotionally unstable. Is it likely I'll develop disorder when I'm much older?

I hate what my mom tried doing to my dad. I testified against her. I'm trying to run away from this horrible family background.

I can't find it in me to hurt animals, to ruin people's lives, to defame a guy for something serious, nor any of those horrible things. I'm innocent in all this but yet I'm scared that this thing is in my genes and I might changed when I'm much older. I'm scared of becoming what I hate.

It even haunts me in my dreams someone. I had a terrible dream that I was doing bad things and had an evil smile. Then I woke up screaming.

It is scientifically accurate that children inherit their parents traits... but it's not always the case..
In your case, i can say that with confidence that you won't turn out like your mom because the proof of that is, you trying to ask about this matter on a social level and you are worried about this matter.. and you are trying to be not her...

I feel bad already that I physically resembled her, the woman that nearly ruined my dad's life. That sucks. I can't help it but wonder what my dad must be thinking every time he looks at me.

First, anyone shouldn't bear grudges just because that particular someone resembles someone that done bad to him/her
In your case, your dad doesn't seem to dislike you.. because if that was the case he would have sent you with your mom or would have done something like that.. and to be honest I think a father/daughter relationship is a pure one that doesn't have any ulterior motives behind it

yeah he says I'm the best gift he ever had, the only single good thing my mom gave him

Just be positive and you'll be ok

Probably not, seems like you have your dads traits

Typically we get our families genetics
