No u dont have to follow their footsteps!!
But i think it can be hard thow..
I dont think ull know... My fathers dad wasent easy to live with, and my father do exactly the same too me.. i dont think he want to or mean it thow.. but he dosent now that hes treating me exactly the same!
Thats the hardest part...
All thing uve learned in life is from ur parents and in most cases you take after the bad things ur parents did or do not the gd 1s...
But i really think that everyone on this earth can be a gd parent!!
And i no that u can be one!
So keep up youre good faith!
And God Bless
Take care!
Love/Em
