Intergenerational Trauma

Stage	Pressure Applied	Psychological Shift
1970-1975	Combat exposure and return	High acquired capability, elevated aggression, reduced self-worth
1975-1985	Chronic family conflict, violence exposure to children	Caregiver depression and trust collapse; child aggression and loneliness rise
1995-2005	Generation 2 repeats pattern in new relationships	Victim and abuser patterns reappear in adulthood
2010-2020	Generation 3 development under chronic conflict	Lower self-worth, higher loneliness, reduced reciprocal caring
Cross-generation	Lineage comparison	Aggression, self-worth damage, and trust loss visible in all generations
