Does jealousy come from love fear low self esteam and insercurties?

Jealousy can stem from a combination of factors such as fear of loss, low self-esteem, and insecurities. It often arises when there is a perceived threat to a relationship or self-worth. In some cases, jealousy can be a sign of deeper emotional issues that may need to be addressed through self-reflection or therapy.

As people grow older how does their role in the family change?

At all ages, the roles of individuals change within the family.

Children from birth to the age of majority (18-21) are supposed to be nutured, protected, and cared for by their parents.

As a normal developmental stage, teenagers begin breaking away from their parents' control and protection. Teens want to be "independent" and often feel more mature and capable than they may be in fact.

At the same time, parents also begin the process of changing how they deal with their teenagers. This is often a difficult period for both teens and parents as they butt heads with each other over everything from clothing to dating to school and home responsibilities. As a result of the process, parents prepare mentally and emotionally for the "child" to leave home and assume the role of a young adult.

During the young adult years, many kids may hold onto "rebellion" and conflict with parents. During their 20s and 30s, young adults must figure out how to make their own lives and own families. Their parents may be estranged, or may be close to the young adult during this time.

When "kids" in their 20s or 30s finally have their own children (or mature enough), they often begin to resolve many of the conflicts with their own parents which began during the teen years. Young adults realize that parenting isn't easy, and that often parents make choices between "a not great option" and another, equally "not so great option". Rather than continuing to blame their parents for shortcomings and mistakes, young adults find themselves turning back to their parents for advice or comfort. For example, during a major disappointment, a daughter of 32 yrs may turn to her mother for comfort, despite years of less than ideal interactions between them. A man may turn more to his dad for business advice or after failures.

At the same time that "kids" are in their 30s and 40s, parents are aging. Some parents become ill or disabled and need their adult children's help. Many adult childrem resent or avoid taking responsibility for an aging (but still young) parent. The "child" feels torn between living his or her own life, establishing a career, dealing with their own family problems, etc.

But, again, nature directs the dance of interactions between parents and kids. All parents age; all parents eventually need their children to help them. Some adult kids adapt easily to the reversed role (becoming protector to a parent) while others resent and avoid the parent's needs. If the parents remain together, they often take care of each other until the situation needs additional help. At that point, adult kids either step in to take a parent or parent into the "child's" home, or some adults put their parents in nursing homes.

Parents also often become grandparents (child: ages 20-40; parent-now-grandparent, 40s to 60s or older). Many "kids" need their parents' help -- grandparents take on roles from babysitter to taxi driver to transport grandchildren to and from activities.

The US Census shows that more and more, grandparents raise the grandchildren completely because the parents cannot. Often this is because the parent is incarcerated, on drugs, is an alcoholic, or is physically ill or has died or both parents have problems. The aging grandparent must parent the grandchildren, despite grandparents often having many physical problems. The Census shows most of the grandparents struggle physically and financially during the years of becoming a custodial grandparent, and the "Golden Years" are far from golden.

This is much different from past decades when grandparents had more of a role as "babysitter" or "entertainer" with grandkids. Time with grandparents used to be more intermittent, with the parents raising their kids.

As the aging parents continue to get older, they assume more of a position as a "wise advisor" to adult children and grandchildren (unless the aging parent has a mental illness or disease affecting the brain). Both children and grandchildren turn to the parent//grandparent more and more for advice and historical perspective about human nature and life problems.

Again, at the same time that parents are becoming elderly, their children have now passed middle age. The time around 50-years old creates a changing time for adults, who realize over half of their own lives is now gone; they may only have another 30 years to live. If the "child" has not died before the parent, the child must now face the deaths of aging parents, often after long periods of illness or infirmity. The over-50 child begins to realize that an invisible "baton" has passed to them---they are now the "wise advisor" of their family, especially if their own parents and grandparents have died....

And through every decade, the life cycle continues.... babies are born, children become teens and hate their parents, they reconcile at least in some ways with their parents, they have their own families and kids, the "once kid" now becomes the grandparent and "wise advisor", while the next generation already born begin the same cycle of life.....

Is there a cure for jealousy?

Most jealousy stems from a lack of self esteem, work on making YOU!! feel special, say positive afirmations to yourself all day long, like; I aprove of myself, I'm very pretty, I'm happy with myself etc. get Louise Hay books.

The evolutionary perspective of cross-cultural psychology maintains that men and women experience different types of jealousy Briefly describe these differences?

Well i know that in the Psychodynamic theory (freud and gilligan main people here) developed the Penis envy and the womb envy theories. Would this be what you are referring to? Basically they state that women are jealous of what guys have (Freud of course) and Gilligan's theory is that men are jealous of the reproductive aspect of women.

Why is it so hard to lose a friend that treated you badly and always disrespects you all the time and she was always saying she is better than you and you heritage is bad when its not?

We would have to guess that you were getting something from the relationship that you do not want to acknowledge. Ask yourself, "what was in it for me." When you can answer that, you will know why it is hard to let go.

Can it be that you are most comfortable in that sort of situation? What were your parents like? Did they abuse you verbally and or emotionally, talk you down, etc.?

In relationships, there is always a payoff. BTW: that person was not a friend. Friends do not treat their friends that way.

Is gambling addictive?

The activity of gambling can be highly addictive. The nature of gambling with its risk and excitement taps into the reward circuits of the brain. It feels really great to do the intense and exciting things connected with gambling. The good feeling is enhanced by our very own chemicals that the reward circuits guide.

Our Brains are very complex and every part has its function. The reward circuit is designed to reinforce activities that keep us and our species alive, such as eating, drinking, procreating, and nurturing our young. However, certain substances and activities can fool the brain in believing that the activity is just as important as the life/species survival activities. The brain then believes that it must have the substance or activity to survive and an addiction is born. This is the science behind the reason that addiction is called a brain disease.

Once the brain believes that it needs, in this case, gambling; a person is driven to continue the activity in order to satisfy the craving. Unfortunately (with addiction), our brains are very resilient. The brain adapts quite easily to exciting activities and a person begins to need more the activity to feel the same good feeling. So a person that started off with buying one or two scratch off cards every week or so can build up to point that they're betting on horses, using a bookie to bet on sporting events, and playing slots at the local casino.

Does everyone that gambles develop an addiction? Absolutely not. There is a certain segment of the population that is more vulnerable, or that has a higher predisposition to developing an addictive disease. The difficulty lies in not knowing who is vulnerable and who is not. No one, truly, no one sets out to become an addict. Certain people are hard wired to develop the disease. Knowing the risk factors can help protect those people. But, risk factors are for another question, another time.

Answer2: Gambling by its very nature encourages a blind trust in the so called Lady Luck and it is in fact fueled by greed. Gambling promotes the desire for easy money and in short a gambler seeks to get something for nothing. Is gambling habit-forming, easily leading to addiction? Following a study of gamblers' responses to winning and losing, Dr. Hans Breiter noted that "a monetary in a gambling-like experiment produces brain activation very similar to that observed in a cocaine addict receiving an infusion of cocaine. Many pathological gamblers would like to have their addiction considered to be "as real a public health problem as tobacco, alcohol, and drug abuse are," says French daily Le Figaro. Millions lured into gambling have found themselves ensnared by a vicious gambling addiction. The problem is widespread, with millions of gambling addicts in the United States alone, according to estimates. Many compulsive gamblers begin by making petty bets just for fun. A long term study published in the United States by the Arizona Council on Compulsive Gambling confirms that many gambling addicts begin at an early age by placing small bets on sporting events or playing cards with friends or relatives.

How did family mealtimes change over the years between 1920 and 1970?

First, it is important to mention that many poorer families had little to no food. So the answer below assumes times of prosperity, when food was not so scarce.

In the 1880s through early 1920s, a "family" consisted of the extended family, too. Often, one set of grandparents, and an aunt or uncle, lived with the immediate family.

Families typically ate at one table, together, at a set dinner time. Larger families had two large tables.

Dinner was a ritual, complete with a prayer offered ("saying Grace"). In most families, dinner time was also a time for conversation among the members of a family. However, in families with abuse or alcoholism, the wife and children were forbidden to speak during dinner.

With World War 2, families became fragmented. If a mom worked outside the home while her husband fought in the war, the mother and children often lived with the grandparents. Meals were still at a particular time, but some members might be missing if at work or overseas.

Most families had a radio through the 1930s. Not all families had television sets in the late 1940s. While families did not generally gather with food to listen to radio shows, but some families began to eat meals while watching TV shows. However, MOST families still insisted the family eat as a group at the dining room table. The same continued through the 1960s.

Today, all families do things differently. Some do / some don't have mealtimes.

NOTE: This does not address the millions of people who ate alone, or the millions of people now who eat alone.

Single mothers and the baby boom

For some, the growth of single-mother families is a sign of female empowerment. If children without fathers fare worse than children in two-parent families, say defenders of single mothers, the answer is better pay for women and better social programs. Yet even in Sweden with its generous welfare state, a major 2003 study found that children raised in single-parent homes were at significantly higher risk for addictions and serious psychiatric problems.
