KATELAND’S FAMILY GENOGRAM

The genogram that I have created will be used to demonstrate my family attributes acquired via
biological heredity from parent, medical and psychological factors that run through my family. It
also will depict the key people in my life and my relationship with them.
I was not face with that many difficulties creating this chart, only problem was that I had to ask
my mother the name of her father, my grandfather since he died, and he was never in neither
her’s nor siblings’ life growing up. She still attended his funeral and even me and my sister, but
we were young.
Frustration, because I had difficult shading the areas to be shaded on each circle, but after that it
was a smooth sail. Sadness, because I missed my grandpa by dad’s side. Every time is name is
mentioned it always bring tears to my eyes since he was my best friend. Growing up we did
everything together until he was on his death bed, even then we were still joined hip to bone.
Anger, towards my granddad by mom side, because he abandons my grandmother to fed for my
mother since she was the first child for her, and she also got help from my great grandma as well
who left this world August 2020. Proudness, to my mommy mom who nurtured and grow my
mother into the lady she is today on her own, and the person both my uncles, aunts, cousins,
sister, and I are today and further on. She is my superhero. The green lines on my genogram
represent both person in harmony and the red broken lines means love affairs.
Both side of my family are peaceful, even thou we have conflicts at time we sit with each other
and talk it out other than fighting or cutting each other off. Even though some part of both my
families are cut off because of what they did to the other. We forgive them yes, but we aren’t that
close anymore. Generosity runs in my family veins and people who know us know that the
Rodriques family is always there to offer a helping hand. I don’t believe in giving and telling so I
just leave that part out, but we give back to out community and church. We are also a devoted
household especially at our game’s night.
The relationship between my family and I provide resources that can help me cope with stress
especially now. For example, on Monday October 10,2022 on World Mental Health Day we had
a prayer section for spiritual, physical, and mental breakthrough where each person in the family
WhatsApp group state what they need prayer for, and state what they are thankful for. It also
enhances in making healthier behaviors choices. With this family I am currently apart will drive
me into making wiser and healthier life choices, and it will also bring my life standard up in way
that looking on how my mom parents I would never want that to happen for me so I will make
wiser decisions. It teaches me the morals and values I should uphold. They give me motivation to
be the best version of myself and to not settle for less. I will also become a more responsible
person. Additionally, my family teaches me how to love my self and others and other morals and
values to share with people. For if there is no love and discipline in a family a child will not
know how to love and will be disrespectful to the family and people outside the family.
Therefore, I will forever be grateful for my family for raising me in the mature young lady I am.
It should be clear now on the vital role my family plays in my life from a baby growing up into a
younger adult. In other words, families boost our confidence and make us feel loved.
