Do girls end up turning into their mother? I'm concerned.

Yes and No. I wish I had been smart enough to pay attention to this when I was younger. My ex mother in law is bat shite crazy. Bipolar, alcoholic, liar, cheater, you name it. Surely her daughter will pick up on some of those traits. When we started dating, she despised her mothers habits and ways, so I didn't put much thought into it.

As life progressed, I started seeing some of those traits starting to pop out. She started lying a lot, I suspected her of cheating but could never prove it. Nothing was ever her fault. Even if you pinpoint one particular thing she did to start something, she will deny it. To this day it's still a problem. Obviously, we divorced a few years ago and we have a child together. I have our kid on average 5 days a week and she will actually try to argue and say that she has him more than I do even though I can account for the days and point it out to her. She ignores the facts just like her mother does.

Point being, she may not end up exactly like her mom, but there will be certain traits she's going to pick up on. In your case, they are close so she's more likely to be just like her mom.
