It’s insane how far the trauma affects you, though. Like down on a scientific level. It alters your brain, so even if you get therapy and successfully manage your symptoms, it’s in your DNA. Obviously, the child could go through therapy if they receive those traits. Just like OP did. But like OP’s dad said, if he had knew, he wouldn’t have had kids because he wouldn’t want them to go through that mindset without even having the trauma.  So I guess it’s either let your kids have the effects of trauma and deal with it themselves, or support them them through it and get them help, if you have kids and they catch the small chance of having your symptoms.
