When we pass on, we want others to remember us, especially our children. Unfortunately it may be the subconscious or indirect lessons that we pass onto our children.
For example, I have many complaints about my in-laws and their habits, but what am I passing onto my son? He has learned "what the heck" from me and potentially my less desirable personality traits. While I generally treat him with almost infinite amounts of patience, I don't do the same for everyone in the household. So is he going to inherit my impatient and judgemental nature? I've seen him scolding other kids in preschool; is he mimicking our behaviour?
What have I inherited from my father that I don't want to pass onto my son, and how to end the cycle?
