Though we no longer refer to the term 'generational curses', we definitely accept this particular form of curse as generational patterns. Psychiatric professionals who might scoff at Biblical principles, unknowingly uphold them in so many ways. When trying to uncover the source of a patient's inner emotional problems, the therapists routinely delve into the sins of the parents.
As I have aged I now understand the concern and worries exhibited by my elders regarding situations with certain people when I was a youth. Questions such as "did anything happen over there" and "does your friend do anything odd" were not based on prejudicial ignorance but on knowledge of family situations a child is not normally aware of. I can now see where odd behaviors were not only exhibited by some of my peers, but also by their parents and grandparents before them. My elders were aware of this and their concern was valid and healthy.
A popular genre of horror film is based upon the unfortunate principle of 'sins of our fathers'. Both in film and in the world around us this every day horror is a way of life for so many. Unfortunately, films often portray this as happening in some backwoods family, but real life has this happening all around us in every facet of society.
As our society continues our downward slide away from healthy biblical principles, we will see more and more generational curses being passed down... and the harmful repercussions they bring.
