It's often claim that the kind of childhood we have, and what our backgrounds are, both play an important role ON how successful our relationships are. But is this so? Isn't it up to us as individuals to decide TO/ABOUT the truth of this -whether to let our upbringing, good or bad, determine the way we relate to those around us? According TO relationship expert Brian Firstalls, although a difficult family life can impact ON later relationships, this does not mean that the rest of our life has to be dictated AFTER it. So are you convinced WITH his theory? Or do you think that the way you are brought up inevitably leads TO the kind of friends you make, and results ON the partnet you choose? And should your family have a say TO your decisions od should the simply be satisfied WITH the choices you make? Can you benefit FROM their advice? The bottom line according to Firstalls is that it's up to you - you don't need to suffer FOR things that happened in your past.
