Have you became more like your parents?

[Anonymous]

So I'm just wondering but how many of you older guys and girls have became more like your parents?

I'm curious as I keep seeing ads for car insurance on TV and I am wondering does it really happen...

Yes, and not necessarily in a good way - but neither a bad one.

Abusive, narcissistic and violent, no,
I have however got some very bad coping mechanisms and some anger issues due to them, But be like them no way I’d rather die.

Occasionally, I see a trait that I attribute to one of my parents.

I have become VERY opposite of my parents. :)

My parents moved to Puerto Vallarta, and I miss my sister. She tried to call me from a phone booth, but she wasn't tall enough, because she's adopted. Well, she's a gerbil, but she doesn't know it, because we haven't told her. Maybe when she gets older we will tell her. I was going to move with them, but I only know a few Mexican words, so I just stayed in the states.

Plus my boyfriend Michael refused to go, because he's afraid of water, and didn't want to swim across the Rio Grande. What does it mean?

Am I paranoid, or do you think someone's out to get me? I stole an avocado and a loaf of bread yesterday, and they sent the SWAT team, and I got shot in the arm.

@MuskratLove ... I don't think you're paranoid. If you were paranoid, you'd be asking all sorts of questions on GaG.

How does your sister like Puerto Vallarta? All I know about I learned from Love Boat re-runs in the early 1980s. Between that show and Magnum P. I. I know everything about Hawaii and coastal Mexico.

Your boyfriend sounds interesting. I know someone named Michael, too. Quite a coincidence.

Be careful with those SWAT teams. Unless you're on a special list, they'll come after you.

@muskratlove... you might appreciate this question. There are many questions on GaG that are fascinating and offer much to opine on. And some amusement.

Child getting harassed? ↗

I just wonder how to get on the special list. I've seen people on the special list get away with murder.
I have a friend in Chicago, and she talked about equity vs equality, and people repelled down from a helicopter and she hasn't been seen since. I'm just going to be good and fit it. Never make waves.

@MuskratLove ... you seem to live a life of mystery and yet "they" (who are "they" by the way?) seem to always be after you. Are you safe?

I'm hiding out in an abandoned warehouse full of rats.

Happy? Yes, pretty much.
