family Science

Hey everyone,

I posted last night and totally didn't proof read my comments. I got back into the account today and read what i wrote last night. I'm really not an idiot. I guess that is what happens when you are tired. Anyway i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the genogram project. Since i was sick and hospitalized i was givin the opportunity to make that assignment up. I really appreciate out proffessor because he is one of the only ones who is being so nice. Most of the others just think that i was skipping out on them even though i have documentation. I am so glad i took this class because it is helping understand my own family. Not just my life as a child but also the familly that my husband and i are raising right now. I would say that myself and my husband are completely uninfluenced by our upbringing. I came from a home where there was a ton of love but a ton of neglect too. My parents worked so hard to make a nice living for my siblings and i. We always knew they loved us but were not around so much to show it. I remember only one family vacation and i was four years old. My parents always wanted to take us but could never find the time since they owned several of their own buisnesses. We always had what we wanted but i guess i needed a little more supervision. I met my husband when we were just thirteen years old. We are twenty five now and have rarely spent a day apart. We had our first child when we were seventeen and our second followed five years later. He is the best dad in the world. He takes care of everything when i fall short because of my illness. I always have had some really good months where i feel o.k. but eventually i know my body won't hand in there for long. I think it is a good idea for everyone to take a class like family science so learn what their patterns are in their own families and if they need change then they have the tools to do so. My favorite lecture was the one on family strengths. That was an uplifting lecture because i saw a few things that i do right. I also learned that most of time you are a product of your invironment. Not always, sometimes it is possible to change things. Well anyway i look forward to hearing from you guys. Take care.

Hi! I’m sorry to hear that and glad you’re ok now. I agree that sometime we cannot do much about life too. I learn a lot from the genogram too. Although I was able to spend more time with my family because of our different circumstance but we didn’t get to travel much because of the family income when I was young. But we still have quality time together to show our love as a family nonetheless. And for the genogram I really don’t know what to suggest beside just make sure to include everything was ask from the requirement for the genogram posted in black board. Dr. Holist also said that we don’t need to worry if our family is not as complicated as others. Details varies in terms of what you think is something important to include and leave out some you find are not as important and make sure that you have enough information for him to look at and be able to understand the function of your family. Just take it easy or relax because I think it’s actually not as complicated as what it look when I had my genogram done and got a pretty decent grade back. Hope this help and take care too.
