Until a study says otherwise, I'm going off of my own experiences. I've met people with parents who were loaded, but wouldn't give them any money because they wanted to drive home the idea of working for the money. But also wealthy families who will give their kids money when asked just because they know that's the quickest way to get them to go away. I also have many friends who live at home with their parents and are, essentially, dirt poor, but have a supportive, loving family.
Family dynamics and wealth aren't tied by any connecting factors. Being born into a wealthy family doesn't give you a higher chance of having a good, supportive family. Just as the opposite statement of being born into a poor family means you'll have a bad, unsupportive family.
