Question about trauma from gaslighting

Most of us know by now that manipulating or gaslighting someone often causes trauma and sometimes permanent mental health issues.
But what about parents? Maybe its because i was a bad kid, but actually even the good kids who only appeared to be good arent any better I dont think.
My question is, do parents get traumatized from all the gaslighting they get from their kids? I know gaslighting from a parent harms kids, but do parents become victims too? Is it different for different types of relationships?

That's a very interesting question. I think the parents are already victimized, and pass along that victimization to their kids, through gaslighting and many other behaviors.
