Exactly. Being brought up by parents more subject to stress results in more stress disorders for the children.

I am Jewish and lost many distant relatives in the Holocaust. My wife's uncle (by marriage) was a survivor. All of his kids have, uh, issues - mainly they are very controlling. Probably this is because their father was, and this is a natural reaction to having had NO control over one's life. These effects will last for generations, and will be seen or assumed to be genetic, but are actually behavior in nature.
