Yes, but the problem isn't necessarily terrible parents; it's ANY serious trauma. Death of a parent, for example; growing up in a war zone or other dangerous area; being molested by someone other than a family member, etc. Even good parents cannot always protect children from pain and trauma.
But yes, emotionally damaged parents are the most common cause of emotional damage to children.

For the sake of this thread, I'd rather stick with horrible family. Shitty parents can ruin a kid for a long, long time.
