Genogram: The genes in family trees (Senyru)
Some family genes
are generational curse
mental illness’s one.
*****
Breast cancers repeat
among aunties and siblings
Will I get it, too?
*******
Strokes and heart attacks!
Diabetes in family
Hypertension’s twin.
*****
Mum and dad died young.
Will I take after grand-dad
in longevity?
******
Plot the genogram
Work on escaping clutches
of these heritages!

💜 Second Chance EveryOne; please Actively Listen to GrandParents EveryBody…as They Have Learned Their Lessons by Observing YOU!!! Growing Up; then Rebelling as a Teen Only to Revert To Being ‘Grown Up’ like Them when They Desired YOU!!! To Be Different from Them and Their ‘Flaws’
