Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting	comment	When parents or parental figures do a much better job at raising kids compared to their own parents. How this happens varies between people. Maybe they know how they were raised wasn't the best and decides not to repeat the mistakes with their own kids. Maybe it's a case of Values Dissonance; what might have been good parenting back in the day would look poorly in modern society. Expect some parents to still have some issues in raising their kids because of how they were raised. They may still be seen as abusive or neglectful, but when compared to the people that raised them, they are seen as better. There might be a chance they will realize they are making the same mistakes as their parents and do try and correct it. This trope will very frequently overlap with Parents as People in stories where parents consciously make an effort to do better. In happier stories where parental figures succeed in breaking this cycle, Good Parents will also come into play. A Sub-Trope of I Am Not My Father and sometimes a means of attempting to avert The Chain of Harm. Compare to Evil Parents Want Good Kids.

As a result, she gets hurt. Years later, when the protagonist has a child of her own, she catches herself repeating her father's strategy and resolves to do better, carefully involving her own child in the scavenging and taking pains to explain the dangers of the world.

He's trying to be a more affectionate father towards his own daughter Sarada after spending a long time being away. Hinata is a kind but still strict mother to both Boruto and Himawari. Contrast to her own father Hiashi who was emotionally distant and looked down on Hinata throughout most of her childhood because he thought she was weak. Gaara ends up adopting a son named Shinki. Shinki is shown to be very happy with Gaara and Gaara himself is very encouraging towards Shinki. Compare that to Gaara's father who ordered his death when he was still a child.

His wife wasn't quite as bad, but she had no qualms about calling her youngest daughter Rosa a living disgrace whenever she didn't excel in school. And the less said about what Kinzo did to his illegitimate daughter the better. As a result Krauss, Eva and Rudolf tried to avoid, with the support of their respective spouses, making the same mistakes with their own children to varying degrees of success. Tragically subverted with Rosa, who had the odds stacked against her from the beginning (constant bullying from her older siblings, Maria's father running out on her while she was pregnant, Maria's odd behaviors, etc.).

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: Despite Homer Simpson's many failures as a parent, several episodes show that he's actually striving to do this with his kids after a childhood of Parental Neglect and verbal abuse at the hands of Abe. He slides between repeating Abe's mistakes and overcompensating upon realizing he's done this. (For his own part, Abe has softened up a bit over the years and gotten somewhat closer to Homer despite their sparring, even forming a bond with Bart.) In the episode "Moanin' Lisa", Marge Simpson gives a depressed Lisa the same advice her mother gave her: to repress her feelings and become a Stepford Smiler so that people will like her. However, upon seeing how this works out in practice, with others treating Lisa like a doormat, she immediately repents her actions, telling her it's okay for her to feel her emotions and her family will ride them out with her.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_2aa31308	comment	Mama's Family: Thelma may yell, criticize, mock, and embarrass her kids, she does genuinely love them in her own Jerk with a Heart of Gold ways. The same could not be said of her parents. Especially her mother who had all of Thelma's negative aspects but none of her positives. In fact, an apparition of Thelma's mother actually causes her to be afraid of it as she starts criticizing everything Thelma does. Vinton is an interesting case of being this and invoking it. In the early season when he had his two kids Buzz and Sonia, he never once belittled them like Thelma did to him. In fact, Buzz himself told him he was a good dad since a lesser person could have easily abandoned him and Sonia. In a later season when he and Naomi were trying for a child and Sonia and Buzz were retconned out, he told Thelma he was going to be a great dad since he would encourage his child. Something Thelma never did for him.

She mentions how Bev's mom wasn't a good mother, that Bev was better than her, and Roseanne is really better than Bev. She then concludes that when she has a kid, she'll be a super mom. Going from the above, Roseanne is seen as a better mom than her father who abused her and Jackie, and her mother who was critical and didn't do anything to stop the abuse. She does love her kids despite her yelling and manipulation as she wants them to do better than she did. When she hit DJ after a very frustrating day, she was traumatized by the incident as she didn't want to be like her father. Dan grew up with a barely-there father and a mentally ill mother who actually attempted to kill him when he was an adult. He is shown to be a very loving father who does spend time with his kids, and who is also shown to be very protective of them. Jackie herself actively invokes this trope for Andy as she wants to be a better mother than Bev who she hates. However, it's shown she sometimes overdoes it and comes off more as an overprotective parent. However, a conversation between Bev and Jackie does have the former admit she was a bad mother and Jackie was a good one. Subverted with Bev and her mother Mary. Mary was a very free-spirited parent which actually cause Bev to grow up to be very strict with Roseanne and Jackie. Both styles are shown to be very bad.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_38ce5997	comment	Seasons 2 and 3 of The Boys (2019) see Billy Butcher making efforts to be a good stepfather to Ryan, Homelander's Child by Rape of Billy's wife. While Billy has Fantastic Racism toward Supes, Ryan is Butcher's only remaining link to his now deceased wife, and Butcher has made the sincere effort to raise him better than he was. This is heavily Deconstructed, though — Butcher is well aware that he is an Ax-Crazy loose cannon who should not be interacting with children, so he gave Ryan over to be raised by the much more stable Grace Mallory and limits his visiting of the boy to only when he is at his best. Additionally, Butcher consciously drives Ryan away from him early in Season 3 because he is making plans to go back to war with Vought, and doesn't want to drag Ryan down with him. This unfortunately gives Homelander the opening to mend things with Ryan, plastering the boy on the path to becoming just as bad, if not worse, than his father, making Butcher's efforts All for Nothing.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_39fe00f1	comment	Dragon Age: Inquisition: If the player slept with Morrigan and/or allowed her to undergo a "ritual" in Dragon Age: Origins, she will return 10 years later in Inquisition with a son. Regardless of the partnership or circumstances (whether she conceived the child with her One True Love, whether the boy is the reincarnation of an Old God and whether or not she and the father raised the boy together), Morrigan loves her son and is very protective of him. If the boy IS a reincarnation, during the course of the game, he will be abducted by Morrigan's mother, Flemeth, and Morrigan will do everything she can to get him back. She says this is because she's determined to not be the sort of mother to him that Flemeth was to her. Flemeth is visibly hurt by that statement and then takes the Old God soul from Kieran before giving him back to his mother, almost as if in apology. Made even awesome considering Flemeth's real identity as Mythal. Mythal is the goddess of motherhood and justice. She's so focused on the latter that she forgets to be the former for her daughter Morrigan. This is something that Morrigan is morally higher than her mother, even if both of them are more than willing to be unscrupulous to achieve their goals.

His father was an abusive wannabe henchman, and while his adoptive mother loved him, she was a heroin addict that eventually succumbed to cancer. The less said about his biological mother, the better. And as for Bruce Wayne... as much the two honestly did love each other in the end, Bruce was not a good father. He was emotionally unstable, and that lead to him being anywhere from neglectful to outright cruel and abusive to his children whenever he was hit hard with something. Left with all these examples of bad parenting, Jason strove to be completely unlike all of them when he ended up becoming a father, and besides some bouts of overprotectiveness, succeeded. His children absolutely adored him, and when he died, they heavily mourned his death.

These include using his name for credit card loans and damaging his credit score and using Christmas as a time to sell stuff to make extra money and not celebrating it with him. However, they are still treated as Good Parents who love Jimmy and did the best they could given they were teen parents. They even made up ruining Jimmy's Christmases by treating other non-major holidays as special so he wouldn't be left out. Jimmy for his part tries harder to raise Hope like getting a stable job so he could get some Health Care and making sure she has a better childhood than his. Despite the mistakes Burt and Virginia did while raising Jimmy, they are still better parents than their own. Burt's played favorite with his older brother and never thought Burt would ever amount to anything. While Virginia's parents left her while she was still young to be raised by her grandparents. Her father was also a narcissist who tried to change her life to better fit his own needs. Though, he is shown to still love her compare to the mother. Sabrina was a Lonely Rich Kid whose parents were barely there. Worst was her mother who would bad-mouth Sabrina, hurting her emotionally. Sabrina became a wonderful mother to Hope. One episode had Sabrina trying to give Hope a great family vacation despite everything going wrong. And when Sabrina has a nightmare in which Hope grew up in the same lonely family life like her, she was terrified and tried to fix it.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_455e3038	comment	King of the Hill: Cotton was emotionally abusive to Hank which led him to repress most emotions. Hank Hill tries to be a better father to Bobby, but Bobby is a very different person than Hank, and Hank ends up being somewhat abusive in his attempts to help him. While he does give genuinely good advice and loves his son, he has to relearn the same lesson (that accepting Bobby for who he is leads to a better outcome than trying to change him) multiple times a season. Hank once expressed worry that he is a bad father to Cotton who responded with this gem: There's also Peggy. Her own mother was shown to be a hard woman who always criticized anything Peggy does and never gave Peggy any approval. Peggy herself deeply loves both her son Bobby and her niece Luanne to the point she will go Mama Bear for them. Like when she beat up Leanne, Luanne's mother, to protect Luanne. On the subject of Luanne, her parents put Peggy's and Hank's to shame! Luanne's mother, Leanne, is a violent drunk that stabbed her husband Hoyt in a fit of rage that eventually lead to the two divorcing. Hyot, himself, is a two strike (now three strike) felon that is willing to try and have his own daughter be put in prison in place of him. As one college woman said in a previous episode, it's a miracle Luanne didn't end up a felon herself. Much later when Luanne and Lucky have their daughter Gracie, they both do their best to raise her.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_5319ce6c	comment	Spy X Family: In a chapter where his past is explored further, in the years leading up to the Westalis Ostania war, when Twilight was a young boy, his mother was as loving and supportive as could be, but his father was a strict disciplinarian who berated and even beat him in the hopes of toughening him up. Years later, following the end of the war, Twilight took up the moniker of Loid Forger, and adopted Anya with the hopes of using her to get close to his target, the reclusive Donovan Desmond, who's confirmed to only socialize during his son's school functions. Since Loid Forger is supposed to be a loving husband and father, Twilight seems to have taken his upbringing as a lesson of what NOT to do as a father, because although he does often get frustrated with Anya, when he tries to discipline her it's mostly in the form of not allowing her to watch TV so she can concentrate on her studies and scolding her lightly when she misbehaves. It's also neither shown, nor implied in the least, that he hits her and he also makes it a point to have fun and play with her from time to time. When he finally meets Donovan at a school function, Twilight, aka. Loid, just cannot simply stand by while Donovan speaks about Damian, his own son, as if he were nothing more than another burden he has to put up with, and Loid subtly calls him out for being so neglectful towards his own family.

However his parents sold him as a slave when he was just a boy. For all his faults Yondu genuinely loved Peter and at least tried to be a good father, and Peter loves him in turn. Peter, Gamora, and Rocket qualify since they all share a parental role in Groot II's life. All of their parental figures were either dead (Peter's mother, Gamora's biological family) deeply flawed (Yondu, as outlined above), or flat-out abusive (Ego towards Peter, Thanos towards Gamora, High Evolutionary towards Rocket). In contrast, each one of them is patient, attentive, and gentle towards Groot II.

In sharp contrast, she raised her own daughter Mei as a child of both Canadian and traditional Chinese cultures. She gave Mei an education with practical aspects (the entrepreneur-business class seen in the opening montage) as well as "book-learning". She allowed Mei to have friends and activities outside the family, even if she didn't always approve of them. Above all else, she raised a daughter with enough of an independent spirit to stand up to Ming herself and say, "I want to be more than just your perfect Mei-Mei" â€” and make it stick.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Tony calls Peter to check in, mentioning that his father was never really there for him and saying he's trying to "break the cycle." While he's making an effort to be a more active mentor/father figure, he still rarely takes Peter's calls, having him make reports to Happy instead (though he does refer back to one of those reports, proving that he did listen to them), and when Peter comes to him for advice about an illegal arms deal, Tony basically blows him off, leading to the situation getting worse, for which he then blames Peter. He's gotten better by Avengers: Infinity War, where he still tries to keep Peter away from dangerous situations but does take time to discuss plans with Peter and actually takes advice from him. By Avengers: Endgame, he's improved greatly. When Peter is restored from Thanos's dusting, Tony's immediate response is to give him a hug, to ensure he knows Tony cares, and every scene with Tony's new daughter Morgan shows that he's emotionally invested with her. In Endgame, it also turns out that Howard's father was even more abusive, and while Howard may have subjected Tony to some emotional abuse, he was never that bad. Howard tried to invoke this trope but unfortunately wasn't able to. In Guardians of The Galaxy : Yondu is not a good parent by any stretch of the imagination. However his parents sold him as a slave when he was just a boy. For all his faults Yondu genuinely loved Peter and at least tried to be a good father, and Peter loves him in turn.

His "love" was conditional, he turned Azula into a sadistic, manipulative Child Soldier, and he burned his son's face for "disrespecting him". While Azula doesn't get a happy ending, Zuko ends the series taking his father's place as Fire Lord. In a way, he's this trope in two ways: as a ruler, he strives to undo the damage the Fire Nation has done to the world and be a more benevolent leader. When he becomes a father in the sequel, his daughter Izumi is a stable, capable adult who rules her nation benevolently, showing that Zuko raised her far better than he was raised. Izumi also seems to have raised her children well, although her daughter was cut out of the show because of time constraints.

With both of them now dead, Thor tries to clean up his act for his remaining daughter ThrÃºd, being more protective of her and actively working against his alcoholism. Unfortunately, Odin likes having his son as an easily-controlled drunk, and his manipulation knocks Thor off the wagon once more; it takes an olive branch from Kratos during the literal apocalypse for Thor to realise that Odin is the source of his bad parenting, and that he can only overcome it by actively rebelling and choosing to be better. To say that this doesn't sit well with Odin is an understatement, and Thor is killed for his defiance.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_7832b74c	comment	Steven Universe: During Future, Greg Universe was revealed to have lived with controlling and emotionally abusive parents and sought to be a fun and hands-free dad who let Steven have freedom. However, his actions serve as a Deconstruction, showing how doing this trope isn't inherently a good thing. His rather loose manner of raising Steven in which he basically left Steven to his own devices and encouraged his freedom is revealed in "Mr. Universe" to be a result of him fighting back against the controlling environment he grew up in under his own. Unfortunately, this causes a whole new set of problems for Steven by then, as it led to Steven having a very atypical childhood. Due to the trauma that came from that time and his desire to have some kind of direction in his life, Steven ends up losing all respect for Greg after he finds out about how Greg ran away from his comparatively mundane home. Overall, while Greg meant well and desired to be a better parent than his own, he lacked the knowledge of how to properly raise his son and swung too far in the other direction from his parents. This eventually bites Greg in the ass when his lackluster parenting contributed to Steven turning into a corrupted Gem monster, with Greg lamenting how he failed Steven as a father by not being there when he needed him most. He then resolves to make things right by joining in the massive group hug that turns Steven back into himself.

This causes Bob to have a crisis of faith upon learning his father was forgiven by God and allowed into heaven, despite a lifetime of abuse. Later in the episode, Bob shouts at Andy for leaving his toys out combined with his anger over the situation with his father, only Andy to calmly reply "That's okay Dad. I know you're upset about Grandpa." Doing so calms Bob down, and he immediately apologizes and compliments Andy on being so insightful. This is invoked by God later in the episode, who explains that he and his father come from a long line of abusive fathers, and while that doesn't excuse how Bob's dad treated him, Bob's dad was at least trying to "throw a softer punch", which allowed Bob to be the one to finally break the cycle.

They are not perfect parents, what with the fact they are self-absorbed by their need for attention or career ambitions, but they do prove to be better parents to Quinn and Daria than their own parents have been to them. Jake tries to understand his daughters (backing up Daria's less conformist moments and personality while merely expressing surprise at the idea that Quinn could be dating women without any sense of contempt), and Helen's relationship with Daria actually evolves from that of a social/career climbing woman who has more or less sold out her Sixties-era feminist beliefs to urge her daughter to fit in, to that of a trusted mother and a sensitive young adult daughter who can communicate on an emotional and intellectual level.

For Blitzo, his own father disdained him for being a terrible clown, believing that five bucks and a condom was sufficient payment to hire out him as an entertainer for a day. He also emotionally manipulated Blitzo into the dangerous task of stealing from a noble family even though Blitzo was just a kid. In contrast, Blitzo as the adoptive father to Loona cherishes her even though she's terrible at her job as receptionist. He's also an overprotective dad to her even though as a hellhound, she's more dangerous than him. For Stolas, for as much tension as his affair with Blitzo caused, he does genuinely care about Octavia and wants the best for her, which is why he tried his hardest to endure his terrible Arranged Marriage with Stella for so many years. In contrast, his father Paimon was neglectful to the point where he couldn't remember Stolas's name, resented having to pay attention to him, and saw nothing wrong with marrying Stolas off to Stella without his consent.

By contrast, Chiffon herself is a good parent towards her own son (with Capone Bege), Pez.

Clay is downright abusive to Orel while Bloberta is neglectful. The third season shows Orel finally starting to realize this for himself and, in the Distant Finale montage, he's shown in what appears to be a happy family with his childhood crush.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_a1b9a8bb	comment	In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Tony calls Peter to check in, mentioning that his father was never really there for him and saying he's trying to "break the cycle." While he's making an effort to be a more active mentor/father figure, he still rarely takes Peter's calls, having him make reports to Happy instead (though he does refer back to one of those reports, proving that he did listen to them), and when Peter comes to him for advice about an illegal arms deal, Tony basically blows him off, leading to the situation getting worse, for which he then blames Peter. He's gotten better by Avengers: Infinity War, where he still tries to keep Peter away from dangerous situations but does take time to discuss plans with Peter and actually takes advice from him. By Avengers: Endgame, he's improved greatly. When Peter is restored from Thanos's dusting, Tony's immediate response is to give him a hug, to ensure he knows Tony cares, and every scene with Tony's new daughter Morgan shows that he's emotionally invested with her.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_a9517b88	comment	God of War: Kratos is the demigod son of Zeus, who repeatedly tried to kill the Spartan to prevent Kratos from fulfilling a prophecy where he would kill Zeus and overthrow Olympus (which, needless to say, gave Kratos every reason to do exactly that). This being a game based on Classical Mythology, it's made clear Zeus did the exact same thing to his own father, Kronus (though the latter was merely exiled after his defeat), and it's implied the same played out with Kronus' father, Ouranos. Come the events of the Midgard saga, and Kratos makes a concerted effort to ensure that his son, Atreus/Loki, defies this cycle and becomes a better person than Kratos himself. Ironically, this seems to be the one virtue Kratos has always had, as he was clearly a Good Parent to his daughter Calliope and she was very happy to see him in Elysium during the events of God of War: Chains of Olympus. This also applies to training in that while Kratos can be harsh and demanding of Atreus, he never put him through the same training he went through as a Spartan child. Not because he thought Atreus was weak but because he didn't believe that a child should ever have to go through the hell that is Spartan training. Also from God of War RagnarÃ¶k is Thor, who suffers under Odin's abuse, and in turn took it out on his own sons, Magni and Modi in the previous game. With both of them now dead, Thor tries to clean up his act for his remaining daughter ThrÃºd, being more protective of her and actively working against his alcoholism. Unfortunately, Odin likes having his son as an easily-controlled drunk, and his manipulation knocks Thor off the wagon once more; it takes an olive branch from Kratos during the literal apocalypse for Thor to realise that Odin is the source of his bad parenting, and that he can only overcome it by actively rebelling and choosing to be better. To say that this doesn't sit well with Odin is an understatement, and Thor is killed for his defiance.

One day, Bobby shot and killed his father to protect his mother and burned his father's body in a shed, to his mother's horror. Because of his experience with his father, he was afraid to have children himself and was against having a child with his wife before she died. Eventually, Bobby would be tasked with raising the infant girl named Luz Noceda. Bobby loved Luz as his own daughter and did everything he could to raise her to be a healthy and happy person. Unfortunately, because both of them were hunters, they had to deal with danger dally, but he did everything he could to shield her from danger, train her to defend herself, and give her a normal life, and he was shown to be loving and supporting towards her growing up, making sure Luz was is fed and cared for. Bobby's death devastated Luz and throughout the story; she respected his memory and greatly missed him. Luz noted that for all Bobby's fear of being a father and not wanting children because of his abusive background, he was a loving father towards her.

Her mother was eventually imprisoned for theft, Ai was placed in a home, and abandoned when she didn't pick Ai up after being released. This left Ai worrying if she ever could love anyone, including her own children, because she based her entire image on lying about love as an idol. But her time with her children proved that she was a supportive, attentive and almost doting parent to her twins. She even dies happy after being able to tell them 'I love you', the first time she manages to say and actually mean it.

In contrast, Cheshire loves Lian dearly and wanted Roy to clean up his act for his daughter's sake as much as Roy's. In fact, while Cheshire did abandon Lian by season 3, it's because she believes Lian would be better off without a mercenary mother. There's also Artemis. While she isn't a mother, she is Lian's maternal aunt and she did raise her with plenty of love.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_bd8b694d	comment	Codex Equus: One way for someone to break free of the Vicious Cycles that constantly plague Equus is to discard previous abusive patterns and show their children (biological or adopted) the love and respect they deserve. The Poenan deities (and their mortal followers) raised Silver Bane to follow their ruthless philosophy of Justice, and gave him harmful, hypocritical, and self-righteous teachings that would have eventually killed him if his friends and other benevolent individuals hadn't intervened and saved him. After adopting Friede, he would become a much better surrogate parent for her than the Poenans had ever been for him, as he genuinely tried to be a good father and role model for his daughter — to the point where the normally Emotionless Girl Friede started crying openly and loudly for the first time after he got severely injured and fell into a coma (which he thankfully woke up from). As a colt, Prince Blueblood's birth parents emotionally abused him in their attempts to mold him into the ideal Scion of House Platinum, including trying to destroy his childhood dreams of being an adventurer after he got a compass rose Cutie Mark. Years later, after he was adopted by Princess Celestia and he was introduced to Prince LÃ©on, then an infant Alicorn, he initially had doubts over his parenting skills and feared having LÃ©on's innocence corrupted by Equestria's incompetent, selfish, and cruel nobility... but he ultimately chose to take responsibility and become the good parent to LÃ©on that his own parents were not, resulting in an emotionally well-adjusted toddler. Both Luminiferous and Celestia believe that lots of good things await him if he continues raising LÃ©on right. The parents of Prince Golden Ash were not abusive to him or his brother, but they still held the toxic, xenophobic, and reactionary beliefs shared by the larger Alvslog Deer Herds and promoted by the Elternteil Deer Pantheon. Years later, after settling down in Kerajaan Cahaya and marrying his husband Victory Road, Golden Ash would become a father himself after adopting a young orphaned pegasus colt. Unlike his parents, though, Golden Ash is a genuinely loving parent who is raising his son outside of the harmful beliefs that he himself grew up with. As a colt, Moon Ray Vaughoof was abused by his bad-tempered, alcoholic father, Sunny Mane Vaughoof, leaving him with physical and mental scars that took him a long time to heal from. In the Fourth Age, he would become the patriarch of the Liberi Lunae, whose members mostly consisted of those who either grew up abused and/or were orphaned, and be the loving father to them that Sunny Mane wasn't to him. Prince Dissonant Tune ends up invoking this on both levels. Dissonant's birth father, War Rock, was essentially a narcissistic, sociopathic monster who abandoned his kids. Dissonant's stepfather resented and abused him, and later tried to kill him after killing his mother in a rage. Years later, after falling in love with ZmeniÅ¥ and siring Hudba, Dissonant vowed to be the good father that Hudba deserved and has made good on his promise, despite his own fears, insecurities, and mistakes as a parent. Dissonant's biological grandparents were perfectionists who constantly pushed their musically-talented son to succeed and then spoiled him rotten as a reward whenever he did, turning War Rock into a narcissistic, entitled sociopath who inflicted much harm on everyone around him. By stark contrast, Dissonant made huge efforts in being a genuinely good father to his daughter, Hudba; he initially tried compensating for his abusive foalhood by spoiling Hudba, only to realize his mistake when it turned her into a Spoiled Brat and got him chewed out by Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae. Prince DÃ¼hroham Erobreseg's birth parents were horribly abusive to him and treated him more like a Human Weapon than a person, which left him a Shell-Shocked Veteran with incredible amounts of PTSD. By present-day, he still has issues, but he's significantly more adjusted than before thanks to Yarost adopting him and receiving psychiatric help. DÃ¼hroham's entry notes that all of his children were adopted due to him being gay, but he's nonetheless a much better parent to them than his birth parents were to him. One of DÃ¼hroham's children is Noo-Noo, a robotic vacuum cleaner he adopted as his son after Noo-Noo gained sapience. Princess VoÄ¾nÃ¡ LÃ¡ska's birth parents, as Neo-Alvslog Deer, bore the same bigoted, traditional, and reactionary mindsets as the original Alvslog Deer Herds. They were also both religious fanatics and eco-extremists who exploited her precognitive visions by essentially turning her into a drug addict so they could lead Erobreseg Deerkind back to their "birthright" as caretakers of nature. In stark contrast, VoÄ¾nÃ¡ herself would become a good mother for her adoptive and biological children, including one ShÃ ngtiÄ�n JiÃ¹Ä“n, whom she and Moon Ray saved from himself after her son's repressed traumas and negative emotions finally caught up to him. While Vicearch Iniquitous' own mother wasn't outright abusive to her and her brother, she was rather emotionally neglectful and later estranged herself from her children to keep her other life as a Lilithian witch a secret following her divorce. If Iniquitous' brother is to be believed, they rarely saw their mother except during occasions when she wants something from them. When their mother died, neither of them shed a tear, with Iniquitous' brother seeing her act of bequeathing her own belongings to her daughter as finally doing them some good. By contrast, once she became a mother herself, Iniquitous would remain consistently present in the lives of her children, the Princelings of Vice, which influenced the Princelings' relationships with her and how they see her overall.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_db96ded4	comment	The Legend of Korra: Attempted by Toph Beifong in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Toph was raised by extremely overprotective parents who had great difficulty in believing their blind daughter could handle herself, much less aid in ending a century-long war. So she raised her own daughters, Lin and Suyin, with a lot more freedom. Unfortunately, Toph's hands-off parenting style led to Lin and Suyin feeling like Toph didn't care for them and like they had to compete for their mother's affection. As a result, Lin became a humorless By-the-Book Cop in an attempt to get Toph's affection by following in her footsteps, while Suyin became a criminal as a teenager as a rejection of her mother before leaving and founding her own city elsewhere. The two of them stopped speaking to each other when Lin was about 20 and Suyin was 14, and did not make peace with each other until thirty years later. Suyin came uncomfortably close to looping back into being as overprotective as her grandparents when she tried to stop her daughter Opal from leaving to develop her bending powers. With Lin's encouragement, Opal was able to convince Suyin to find a balance between caring for her children and stifling their personal growth, making Suyin a more successful example of this trope than her mother. Zuko famously had an extremely abusive father who burned his face for daring to speak against him, even though his objections were morally and practically justifiable (and his grandfather Azulon is implied to have been abusive as well). From what little we see of her, his only known child, Izumi, is a well-adjusted and capable leader as well as a very good mother to her son and her unseen daughter. It is safe to assume that Izumi's children will become better people than their grandaunt.

By the time he becomes a Parental Substitute for Jin Ling, Jiang Cheng went in completely blind with no good examples to learn from. While he does unintentionally repeat some of his parents' mistakes - especially his mother's - in regards to parenting, he is genuinely trying to make an effort to take care of Jin Ling better than how his parents raised him.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_e5d8e2fe	comment	Ultimately subverted in LISA. Brad's father Marty was a terrible parent, a raging alcoholic who verbally and physically abused him and sexually abused his little sister Lisa. When, several decades later, he's tasked with parenting an orphaned baby girl who he names Buddy, he vows to be a better parent than his father ever was. But his extreme overprotectiveness and his drug addiction make him almost as bad of a father as Marty. As soon as Buddy gets her first taste of the outside world, she realizes that her childhood wasn't normal and comes to despise her father, and pretty much every other character in the game — evil and heroic — agrees that Brad is a terrible dad.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_f6c05e8e	comment	Friends: Monica and Chandler fight this battle on two fronts as they prepare to have children. Monica already spent the series avoiding becoming like her emotionally abusive and critical mother, while Chandler is scared of repeating his incompetent and neglectful parent's mistakes. After discovering they have infertility issues, they decide to adopt so they can give an unwanted child a home and the love they never had, and the series ends with the arrival of their instantly beloved newborn twins. Subverted with Judy Geller, who thinks she's the trope but is just as cruel to Monica as her own mother was to her.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_f6eed39	comment	The Sopranos: Somewhat downplayed. Tony Sopranos's children have their issues and Tony himself is a bit rough around the edges as a parent. However, he does make every attempt he can and, in spite of his flaws raising them, he still comes across as a lightyears better parent to his children than his sadistic mother and manipulative father were to him. Even with his frustrations towards his children, his desire to do right by them is the one redeeming quality he carries to the end of the series.

They both lampshade this repeatedly.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_ffb43795	comment	Cobra Kai: Deconstructed. Johnny Lawrence desperately wants to be a good sensei and father figure to his students, his actual son Robby Keene and his bonus-son Miguel Diaz. However, he grew up abused by both his father figures, verbally and emotionally by his stepfather Sid Weinberg, and verbally, emotionally, and physically by John Kreese. He really has no good role models and only a vague idea of what he should be doing, and while his intentions are good, his trial-and-error approach to parenting and his own demons mean he messes up a lot.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting / int_ffc6ca91	comment	Murray Goldberg from The Goldbergs does call his kids morons from time to time and often doesn't get them when it comes to any of their interests. But he was like that because his father was neglectful to the point that Murray had to raise his brother by himself and it's hard for him to express himself. But he does show he loves his kids very much and is a good father.
