generational trauma is very much real. it manifests in how parents raise their children, how communities interact, in jokes and stories about others, in the way you see people, and even in genetics.
for example, the reason pacific islanders are usually pretty heavyset is that their ancestors were starved for generations by slavers, and developed more efficient metabolisms that used less. that's trauma from hundreds of years ago that physically manifests today.
i never looked the definition of generational trauma up. thx for explaining, i was unknowing. it seems i also have generational trauma. i dont mean it as a joke. :)
