Shell, you are raising ideas and questions that geniuses will study and ponder things you raise. I will do all I can to allow you to get the credit. However, alas, my influence only goes so far.
Seriously, the "inheritance" of behaviors and tendencies has been talked about for years. You have put them in a context that will stimulate lots of social research. Thank you.
Clearly, you are the "Great Grand Storyteller" in your family line.
Loved this. Especially the part about the great-grand version of you watching you live your story. Gave me chills! 🤌🏻 Makes the present feel less like pressure and more like legacy in motion.
Very well written, Shell. And such a good analogy. Yes, the pull of alcoholism is very strong. My darling sister was pulled into it by her husband and his family. Truth was, she was looking for a way to handle the stress and anxiety and looking for a place of acceptance. Very sad. And yes, that and smoking killed her. Both things we had never had in our immediate family. But also, we weren't taught how to deal with the overcoming emotions and situations either.

Thank you for your perspective here. It is really "chilling" to think of this view. I appreciate you reading. 😊

Thank you for your comments here. Seems many of us have these ghosts of the past lurking somewhere around us at times.
Wow great story! Now I can't get the fly paper out of my head.
I want to read more.
I can’t either. I can even hear it flapping in the breeze from a nearby fan!!
Thank you 😊
