If both parents were traumatized as kids, and childhood trauma runs in families, then that adds no weight to claims that the disorder is genetic. To show a genetic origin, you have to point to a gene, not a pile of statistics.
- waterhouse 4y agoDid you see the part about monozygotic vs dizygotic twins? Do you have any explanation other than genetics for it? For example, do you think parents are 4.5-9x more likely to traumatize both their twin children if the twins are identical instead of fraternal?
