learning relationships through parents Options

[*tweeak*]

the other day, my mom told me that she had pretty much doomed me to never have a decent relationship with anyone since all i've ever seen has been fighting with her husbands (not simultaneous, past and present, though i don't even know why she and my father divorced, nor can i remember them together) so i'll never be able to trust a man. i found it interesting, though, because what it really has shown me is that no matter how cynical i may be, i'm a hopeless romantic, don't like the idea of dating, and am very glad i'm friends with and like such geeky people rather than attractice jerks. but what do you think? is a person more likely to overcome their environment or fall unintentionally into the same trap?
