Do you agree with this statement?

[otherwise]

I heard this on a radio:

 

(This was a part of a paragraph)

 

Women (or men for that matter) who are from broken families find it hard to be emotionally attached to their partners. It is because they're never felt love and affection and they have a hard time to show it to their partners.

[CamaroJoe]

That is what they say.... "Because he was hurt by the people who were suppose to love him the most ... He pushes people away before they get the chance to leave him. It's a defense mechanism" -Robyn Williams (Good Will Hunting)

[Gilgamesh]

Do not agree, thats too cookie cutter a statement.

 

Some two parent homes are violent and always fighting, you think a child will be loving and affectionate just because he had two parents in that kind of environment?

 

Some two parent homes are not loving to their kids, workaholics that dont spend much time with them, what about those kids?

 

And at what age does this effect occur? what if you had two loving parents and one died when you were 9? or 12? or 14 years old, at what age does it become a problem?

 

There are single parent homes where the single parent give their children more attention and love then some two family home parents give combined.

 

What about Two parent homes where one parent travels a lot, father only shows up once in a while?

 

its rediculous to make a broad statement like that.

 

I usually hear that hogwash on those right wing AM radio shows that like to push their agenda and religious beliefs. they make for a good laugh sometimes while in traffic.

 

I will say this, if you compare a home with two loving parents that are together from the time the baby is born until its an adult, with that of a single mom. where the father was never there, then yes, under those circumstances you will have a higher percentage of emotionally balanced children. but there are no gaurantees of this.

 

genetics and the environment have a lot to say in it too.

[CamaroJoe]

yeah, that's true... i misread the question. I took "broken up" as "abusive or neglecting", now that is definitely a cause for that kind of problem.

Hey

 

Everyone's got their own ways and thinking but hmm let me think. I'm not quite sure, people like that could be afraid to love as they've often been neglected by those who love but that wouldn't necessarily be the case that they won't be emotionally attached, they could just not be showing it or hiding it inside. So i'd agree with the "they have a hard time to show it to their partners" part...

If that is true then I am the exction to the rule, I am from a broken home but I have a strong drive to develup an relasionship.

I totally agree with Gilgamesh because there is no way to summarize a person by a statement like the one that otherwise stated. There are too many factors in how someone turns out and everyone is different.

I agree to a certain extent.

 

My girl came from a broken home (parents are divorced). Sometimes I feel like she is not returning the love I show and give her. I know that she is returning it in her own way.

 

But, it does not apply to every person who came from a broken home.

[neva_black_n_white]

i disagree, to a degree i feel that someone could actually return more love through not experiancing such an intense emotion as what is given of in a relationship.

i cant count for every person, but i feel that the statement is incorrect to a majority of people.

there is a choice in how you are to feel, love or give your feelings to some one. in some exten there may be a reflection or a fear of an emotion, but i dont feel it will count for them being and giving the same as what they got.
