Hi Anon,
Welcome to EmpowHER. Sorry to hear this. No doubt that a child being raised in a home like this will eventually have problems like anxiety, depression and many otheres. There is strong evidence that Tourette syndrome is passed down through families. The syndrome may be linked to problems in certain areas of the brain.
I've included a link to might be helpful.
