Not necessarily. Often when we grow up we learn from mistakes of those around us. By identifying the problem, it gives room for improvement and therefore change

It's up to you! If you've had the example, you know for sure what not to follow, so let yourself be and try hard to be a good example to your (future) children. I'm sure you're totally capable of being a wonderful parent, so don't worry too much and go for it! Just remember that you won't always be able to do a perfect job, and it's okay, you can grow together your children and learn how to be a better parent listening to what they think. Just be open-minded to new point of views and let them show you how to improve and everything will be alright. :)

Depends. If you stay aware to what you consider mistakes you might be able to avoid them most of the time or forgive yourself when you do not.

You yourself have to be determined to work towards being a better person, and being better than them. You must want to be better, than slowly you will be. I know it may seem hard to accomplish, but eventually things will work out, and you won't have the chance to make the mistakes anymore, because you will be better than any mistake that could come across you, but remember, everyone makes mistakes, it is part of being human, so as hard as it may be, embrace your mistakes, and overcome them too. You must want to better yourself in order to do it.

Of course not, you are your own person no matter what your parents chose to be. Have a healthy mindset and understand that you can be so much more than you think you are. Be the person you parents wanted to be. Show them how it is done. Please never lse sight of hope. Do not follow in their footsteps. Learn from their bad decisions or bad mistakes. Your path is not your parents' path. Stay strong and see past all this. You will be better than your parents I promise. thank you for the question. have a good day.

Many people think that they'll be just like their parents and do the same mistakes. For example, if their parents marriage doesn't work out, the children think that their marriage won't work out either and that they can't love. However, it's not entirely true. Everyone's different, and makes different choices. A person's morals and ethics teach them what to do and what not to do. So it's not fair to blame yourself for your parents doings. You must trust yourself, and know that you wouldn't follow your parents footsteps on where they made mistakes. You are different than your parents.
