i think that is a very natural fear and probably likely to happen in some way! i feel like we come into the families we do to work out very specific karma and, in order to better understand ourselves and the world, those circumstances, the lessons we learn, the people we're involved with on that family level... reach into us in a different way.. at least, that's how i look at it. it's painful and sometimes they hurt us so deeply... it's our role as growing humans to heal ourselves and not pass on that karma...
