Breaking Free From Your Past
Every family has different things they struggle with in life whether they be past or present. The struggles your family had when you were a child may have had an effect on who you are today.
For example:
If your family struggled financially when you were a child, it may very important to you that you are not in the same financial stress they were in. So you may work long hours or even have several jobs so you have the security you never felt you had as a child.
Or, you may have not been able to get out of the same financially struggles your family had. And now, your family is experiencing that same financial stress you had as a child.
Can what happened to me as a child affect how I treat my children?
You may have grown up in a family where one or both of your parents abused you. As as child, growing up in that environment seemed “normal” to you. It may have not been until you encountered a loving family that you realized that what you were experiencing was not a healthy situation. You now, as an adult, may be repeating the same generational curse with your children. You find yourself being abusive in the same ways that you were abused. And possibly, the same way your parents were abused.
It seems like every generation of my family has struggled with this…why?
If your family has suffered generation after generation with alcoholism, it would not be too far off to say that you too may struggle with alcoholism. And that your children, and their children for generations to come would struggle with those same demons.
On Friday we will continue with this series and talk about if there are really “family curses”. We will also talk about how to find healing in your family.
If you are struggling to break the bonds of your past and/or the generations before you, contact us we can help.

I was born into a family of ten, I’m#9. My father was 40 and mom almost 20 when they married. When I was born in 1937 there was already negative karma in our relations including, an aunt holding the hand of a dying man to will her his property ; another, leaving her home in Baldwin Hills to a young guy or be killed, to a woman poisoned our mother to get daddy to leave her. She suffered from her poisonings from age 20 something until she died at age 65. We had family piled secrets piled higher than with secrets, lies and “looking-good”, and spilled over with me and my sister in were interring puperty, me at age 10 and she at 15 and brothers when they went into war II. I married a man at age 20. Our wedding list was getting longer and longer and one Friday evening he and his family came rushing in with “let’s get married tonight.” Two children and eight years of a miserable marriage, at his funeral my daughters discovered he never was single to marry me. While sitting in a mystics waiting room about ten years ago, in passing, she suggested I should see someone who could rid me of this curse in Cuba? Cuba? The crisis I am in now that I have known about for 40 years has come to the tipping point. Can you help me?
