Xennial here, but I can say I definitely didn’t want to be my parents to my newborn. My wife and I discussed this before he was born how much we didn’t want to pass the trauma from our parents to our kids. We are actively trying to undo the damage to ourselves by being better for our child. Hopefully, as others are doing the same, we may see better generations going forward.

Same. My parents mostly served as a counter-example.
