Lets Talk Generational Curses

Last week, we delved into the topic of dysfunctional families and the harsh realities of growing up in such environments. This subject has profoundly influenced my own life. Even after many years on my healing journey, I continue to attend therapy and manage my chronic health issues. The key difference now is that I can clearly distinguish between my unhealed self and the person I am becoming. Healing is an ongoing commitment to oneself; it doesn’t have a definitive endpoint.

You can find all the related content on the blog, allowing you to revisit the topics that resonate with you. Perhaps you’ll discover something about yourself, especially if you’re carrying unhealed trauma. I believe this topic is crucial, especially in the context of growing up in dysfunction. Throughout my journey, I’ve realized that we all carry wounds—some more visible than others.

When I took a step back to view the bigger picture, I noticed my own family in the same cycle of dysfunction. This raises a troubling question: what does this mean for the next generation? Children often inherit these patterns, leading to a generational curse that continues to cycle. Despite the pain we endure—much of which we didn’t deserve—it's essential to ask where these behaviors originate. Why do they act the way they do? Why do they believe it’s acceptable to treat us this way? It’s time to examine this generational curse and explore how we can begin to break the cycle.
