Intergenerational Trauma

[blackpowder]

No one denied the trauma.
Your post adds nothing.

But you guys only want to focus only on one school where apparently no bodies were found? And ignoring all the other cases and evidence?

And that's all you want to talk about?

Trader Joe said first nations "take no accountability for their shitty lazy attitude"

Is calling all first nations unaccountable and lazy acceptable to you BP?

That's bigotry and a racist thing to say!

Then take it up with Trader Joe.
He said out loud in perhaps a poor fashion, what is heard from many under their breath.
Your diplomacy style won't win anything either.
Both sides need to acknowledge and reconcile. Both sides seem pretty one sided so far. Nothing has changed in decades. Except the size of the problem.

Constructive criticism is met with cries of bigotry and racism. You can't politically point out the shortcomings. It's a no win.

There is no doubt that what First Nations endured laid the ground work for the dysfunction today.

They definitely need a leg up and helping hand but at what point are they responsible for their own welfare and well being?

When you're "aware" of a situation how long can you use it as an excuse. There comes a time everyone will have to become responsible. What took generations to screw up will take generations to fix. But there is awareness.

I guess if I want the recognition there should be a level of responsibility that comes with it.

My family is drowning in generational trauma. There’s absolutely no coping skills in most and it’s riddled with addictions.

I always wonder how far back does generational trauma go. One generation? Two? Five? I read an article about descendants of the Irish Famine and their generational trauma which would impact a lot of
people.

Its definitely not only something BIPOCs deal with.

Hell, farmers are some of the most dysfunctional people I know largely due to generational trauma.

Everyone is ****ed up. Either work to fix it, deny it completely, or overdose. Those seem to be the main three approaches.

It's called epigenetics, a fascinating new science.

I disagree.

I disagree.

There has been lots of generational trauma inflicted on different societies in the past.I do believe from what I have noticed in the past ,that reliving and bringing up past injustice has to end at some point. How can society move on when you keep reliving the horror that existed.At some point victims have to look in the mirror and say it’s going to end today, I will move on and do better for people around me,and leave the racist thinking behind.

It's called epigenetics, a fascinating new science.

So you’re saying addiction is a gene that only expresses in some people?

Its an interesting idea to
follow. Generational trauma to me is psychological trauma that your body holds onto. Parents had trauma they couldn’t cope with in a healthy way which impacted how their kids were treated which impacted how the kids are as teens and adults. They never learned how to be healthy.

Epigenetic's would say the trauma is heritable vs learned.

With which part

I confess I had to read what epigenetics involved.
Gene expression variables due to environmental factors logical. A part of the nature/nurture dynamic. Biology and environment play a part in all things.
My experience relates to emotional and attachment traumas during childhood setting the stage for brain development.
It's like Blaithin said.
