The greatest song about accepting your struggles as key to making you who you are, while also refusing to pass that generational trauma on to your own children, is Johnny Cash / Shel Silverstein’s “A Boy Named Sue”

You should check out the song "Patches" If that's what you're interested in.

Patches, I'm depending on ya son...

That song hits hard in a town that was farm heavy

Just reading the name Patches brings a hit of emotions. Great song

Patches by Dickie Lee or Patches by Clarence Carter?

... Or Patches the Clown by Deadbolt?

(All great songs.)
