<p>It is always difficult to understand if something is only genetics or also behaviours.</p>
<p>In fact, a family shares not only the genes but also behaviours, beliefs, problems, and also practical stuff like being grown more or less in the same place and in the same kind of society (with the same amount of money and education, moral values, etc...); that's how most partners meet and then they have children.</p>
<p>Generations pass down more than genes.</p>

<p>Hi Bill,</p>
<p> so sorry to hear about your story, I am glad however you made it here and can channel and inform yourself as it helped me loads over the past months just seeing I am not the same and trying strategies to come out of it (not succeeded yet but will keep trying ;-))</p>
<p>Interesting to read about the hereditary aspect, I didnt think of this but I suppose as it is an addiction, some form of addictive behaviour will be more common in some than in others past down in generation,…</p>

<p>Interesting to read about the hereditary aspect, I didnt think of this but I suppose as it is an addiction, some form of addictive behaviour will be more common in some than in others past down in generation, teh same with depression. And again, to escape the reality, whether you are gambling, dreaming your life away or using drugs :( My father was an alcoholic and I also strongly suspect he was depressed but back in those days ( we are talking the 70s/early 80s) it was not really spoken about or addressed.</p>
<p>I hope you ll find some more answers!</p> Hello Bill,

<p>Hello Bill,</p>
<p>I'm glad you're here. We all here are trying to understand and overcome what we're going through so don't be worried about being new here and not knowing stuff. I'm really glad you're trying to understand it.</p>

<p>Where does one go after understanding MD and being over the shock?</p>
<p>I've been trying to stop MD and channel all my emotions to reality. <br></br>Personally this blog helped me get a very clear idea (along with some other personal experiences). I hope…</p>

<p>What a sad story, I'm so sorry.</p>
<p>I don't know if they had MD; often, MD is a silent disorder and a way of coping with a reality we don't like.</p>
<p>The capacity of diving into an inner world and visualize very vividly what happens there, is a trait of our personality, something we are born with. So it could be genetic.</p>
<p>But the addiction to it, that comes later. That's the "maladaptive" part. So on one side, there is the trait, on the other the addiction.</p>
