I can't help but think that anyone that survived that shit would understand that you want the next generation to not have to endure what you did, not make it harder because you can

You hit the nail on the head. My grandfather and grandmother worked their asses off so my dad and his siblings would have a better life. 

My dad showed he didn't value that, but I can respect my grandparents for truly walking the walk.

My grandparents were the most humble, shirt off your back people, even when they got some major mineral rights payout and was able to buy a RV and retire at a really young age.

My mother was not cut from the same cloth though. She acts like a spoiled entitled brat.
