Here's an article that says every parenting style can produce disturbed, miserable adults!
Now that my oldest friends and cousins have grown children, I can see they did a pretty good job. I am in awe of their accomplishments as parents. I have always harbored the niggling fear that my own progeny would have been neurotic and homely.
The best adjusted and happiest adult children I know strangely enough did not have easy or picture-perfect families. There might have been challenges in their childhood like divorce, long parental absences, blended families or money troubles. My godchildren are perfect examples. They could have turned out so differently...
Perhaps love is really all you need?
