What are some generational curses that u broke in ur family? What have u healed u from that has made u a better a person/parent

Personally for me; my mother was a mother of 4 with 3different baby daddies, she was unable to raise all of us on her own so she gave us up to each of our fathers. My dad was for the streets so It was my grandparents who stepped up! My siblings & I were all raised with our paternal side. My mom’s family had mostly women who were single mothers & struggling. My mom passed away a little before my 18th birthday, after a long battle of HIV/AIDS. Long story short, I’m super proud that I didn’t end up in the same situation as my mom. My mom had no boundaries, self esteem, self worth or self love. When she was alive she used to cry & beg me to not let a man without a plan ruin my life, the same way my dad & all the other men did to her. I didn’t really understand the severity of situation cuz they say “the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree” I didn’t know what that saying meant & what my mom was trying so hard to prevent! so I have to admit I was a little hypersexual in my teen/early 20s jus cause I was “unaware” of the demons plaguing my family! I started my healing journey in my mid twenties& After yrs of working on myself; I found a man who truly loves me, we got married & we welcomed our baby 2.5 ago. I’m happy I’m raising my son in a happy healthy marriage with a man who loves us! I hope my mama is proud of me! When I think abt all the statistics that I beat, I’m so proud of me!

I unfortunately didn’t break it. But my kids will. Because they will not create any adoptees.

Grew up in a violent household. Broke that curse. Grew up in a household of addiction to alcohol and opiods. Broke that curse as well. My parents never taught us any skills. Broke that curse as well. Grew up with a lot of bystanders. Broke that as well.

Mine is apologising I make sure I say sorry to my daughter if I make a mistake

I grew up in a household where there was a lot of addiction involved and my mum would just shout at us all the time. Don't get me wrong they where not your typical drug addicts they really tried, well my mum did anyway. But I'm glad that my kids will never get to see that and they will grow up in a healthy family home. So yeah I did break the curse.

My sons little so I will see how I get on but I want him to see me and my partner communicate in a way that I never saw growing up. My parents were great individually but when they were together it was always arguments and stress. It just meant every family memory I have is tarnished with memories of arguments, stress and tension. I never ever want him to ever fall asleep listening to the sound of arguments from downstairs or looking out the window when every car door slammed incase one parent was leaving. We try to resolve in front of him if we bicker so he knows how to resolve conflict and apologise and I want his childhood memories to be of genuine fun days out with no tension or anger

My biological parents were addicts. They have both passed now due to their addiction. All of my mom’s kids were born with drugs in our system. I broke that curse and will never put my baby in danger the way they did.

I grew up in a family of heavy drinkers/functional alcoholics. Some of the worst and most memorable things my parents have said to me have been drunk. During the pandemic, I recognized that I had started drinking too much and decided to stop. I am now 3 years sober and committed to raise my children aware of the risks of alcohol while still supporting them in experimenting. I want them to be able to try things but also know that I’m here if things go south. They have alcoholism on both sides( my husbands dad died of alcoholic liver cancer) and we are determined to model a sober and successful lifestyle for them ❤️
