Family of Origin

Recently, I was reading Free To Forgive and it talked about us going back in time to see what things in the past could be hindering us from success in our serenity. Go over your family of origin with a fine tooth comb by composing a detailed inventory of significant relationships. What patterns are you repeating from your family of origin? What patterns do you need to break? I know I was just looking at mine and how I need to have the last word and not staying silent is a real killer. I think it comes from insecurity. What are your negative pattens you're still trying to control? From Free To Forgive Daily Devotion for Adult Children of Abuse. Serenity Meditation Series Meier Minirth, Nelson Publishers.
