I received a 50% hit from my maternal side. I do think genetics CAN play a role and I also believe in the "nuture" theory. The females on my maternal side were and are chronic worriers and ruminators - I think somehow equating that with good show of concern. I learned this behavior and it's a BIG factor.
My Dad's side does not have much in the way of emotional problems but are dentally challenged.
So, Mom gave me the brain and Dad gave me his bad teeth. The good news is, I found treatment for both: Lexapro and some really good looking veneers.
