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”

I'm not disagreeing with you, though that certainly sounds like your perspective was newly informed by this additional trivia.

I don't understand what you mean. This isn't new trivia. It's just a hugely problematic, incestuous, transphobic song
