Generational abuse doesn't just *end*. You break the cycle and there are still echoes because your child grows up without a set of grandparents, or is fucked up by those grandparents, or is cut off from the rest of the extended family, or gets fucked up presents at Christmas, or wonders why they get treated different at family gatherings.
A lot of LGBTQ fiction authors write about that kind of isolation because it's so present in their lives, but it feels rare in media and rarer in cis hetero media where everyone knows they're isolated and lonely but apparently don't have the balls to say "My bio family sucks and is abusive, fuck this shit."
