Yeah, generally when people say “someone has a trait X because that’s how his parents brought him up” it makes sense to ask “okay, but why did his parents bring him up to do X” and a likely hypothesis is that the parents themselves were X. In which case, we should consider the possibility that X was simply inherited.
The thing the parents can teach are the coping strategies they use.
