re: Just met the GF's mom- should I be concerned?

I've never heard of girls sharing the same emotional traits as their mother. But who knows. Physical traits down the line is a completely different story.

Incorrect sir. If the mother is an emotional train wreck, the daughter will see that as "normal". The behavior of parents sets the standard for their kids. The crazy gets passed on like hair color and male pattern baldness.

Sure, she may seem like she's aware of her mom's disfunction and knows better. But in times of stress, when the real "her" comes out, she'll revert back to what she knows as normal. And you'll have a clusterfrick of emotional irrational bullshite on your hands.
