As one who remembers the trendy "schizophrenigenic family" paradigm of the 1970's I'm cautious about the environmental blame game. Some people are just born different. Back then a lot of mothers got a lot of crap when their kids grew up to be schizophrenic. Now that I'm a parent I can see just how different my own kids are from one another. They had the same home and parents. Each got their own room. They didn't have to have a lot of hand-me-downs... no one was locked up in a box in the garage while their siblings received their share of love. Yet they are different. OTOH, there are some families where the phenotype expression is very narrow. Occasionally, you see a family where everyone seems the same. That is actually the exception. I had a high school friend who looked just like his brothers - all 6'2" or taller, except him, 5'8". But personality-wise, they were all different, though.
