dc.description.abstractThis study explores how parents’ past experiences influence the psychological development of their children. It examines the adverse effects of a history of violence and injustice on parents’ behaviour, resulting in the victimization of their offspring. Moreover, the research focuses mainly on the negative impact of different parenting styles on the psychological behaviour of their children. It underscores the idea that reduced warmth and communication gaps between parents and children contribute to suicidal adolescent behaviour. The study also addresses the negative influence of intergenerational trauma on children’s psychological and emotional upbringing. Furthermore, this research highlights diverse risk factors of parents’ psychological distress, which subsequently become root causes for children’s depression, low self-esteem and anxiety. Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar and Toni Morrison’s Beloved serve as illustrations of these claims. Morrison underscores the impact of parents’ history of violence and subjugation on the behavioural patterns of their offspring. She reiterates that the past of parents can bite their children’s present and can shape their present and future. In comparison to her, Plath presents children’s psychological challenges stemming from controlling and authoritarian parenting. Thus, this study anticipates the extensive influence of parents on wield across facets of their children’s lives, be they social, socio-political, familial or personal.
