Why Your Parents' Fear Becomes Your Fear
Have you ever noticed how anxiety runs in families like some kind of emotional heirloom? My father fled Kashmir for the frozen landscape of Southern Ontario after falling for my mother at his cousin's house. He proposed when she was eighteen, though her police sergeant father made them wait until she was twenty-two. After my brother was born, my father moved to Canada alone, his family joining months later. Now in his sixties, he battles his genetic destiny-his own father died suddenly from a heart attack-with daily runs, yoga, and fenugreek seeds, as if sheer willpower could outrun heredity. My mother approached moving to "a country made of ice and casual racism" with remarkable nonchalance. She's always been fearless-taking me into deep water before I could swim, checking pan temperatures with her bare hand. Yet somehow I became a child convinced my visible veins were "vein cancer," writing my will on heart-shaped paper. When my grandmother fell ill during my childhood, my mother's frequent trips to India left her increasingly deflated. After both her parents died within eleven months, she sank into fear, wanting everyone to stay home. My parents raised me in protective isolation-no walking alone to the store, no sleepovers with just a friend's father present, hair always neatly pulled back. I didn't fear flying until my mother started treating planes like doomed zeppelins. Water wasn't scary until she warned about arrogant swimmers being taken by waves. When I went to Ecuador at twenty-two, my father sent a heartbreaking email questioning my choice, lamenting that no other child had done "this." Now I call them daily, with my father always checking if I'm "okay" or "weak." Sometimes I want to collapse into him and beg to come home where we can watch over each other, as if our mutual vigilance might prevent death. Whatever comes, I want to stay where it's safe, as safe as I can possibly make it.
