parental relationship tip

just read a very interesting article about how people who have good relationships with their parents tend to have good relationships with their partners as well.  we're programmed to have a fight or flight response.  when interacting with parents, if we don't get along, we usually fight about it or get pissed and leave the situation.  same thing tends to happen with our partners:  a disagreement occurs and we either yell or avoid the unpleasant issues.  either way, problem doesn't get solved.
