Is the US actually worse than average in that respect? It's possible, but I dunno.

I agree that it's the stereotype, and I certainly know plenty of folks who lived through it, but there are also lots of us who had mutually-respectful relationships with their parents. While they occasionally annoy me, I'm still friends with both of my parents, and I know plenty of folks for whom that's true as well.

The bad ones get most of the airtime (because everyone likes to talk about bad examples), but I'd be curious what the actual statistics look like, both here and elsewhere.

It's probably just a stereotype in some ways. And probably more some states than others.
