Not exactly.

The above is simply a generational trauma or transfer of trauma.

Most of us are victims of the above where we have parents who were never openly shown/expressed love to and in return failed in breaking the chain and eventually passing it on to us.

It is now left for most of us who have been able to understand this fact to break the chain and do things very differently.

I am happy at how I'm growing and showing my kids love like I never expressly got it from my parents which really wasn't their fault.

Let's break the chain and love without boundaries.

There is what we call a generational/ancestral curse.

I kinda agree with @gaby's comment. I'm more inclined towards a psychological explanation. It's possible that's what's called generational curses.

There may or may not be things that are truly generational curses on their own. I can't say. Even though I believe there is a spiritual world, I don't tend to focus on those parts of it and whatever happens there. If someone says they've experienced a generational curse and they've once been under it and it has nothing to do with a psychological transfer (or biological inheritance), okayy. I have nothing to say about that or its truthfulness.

I think it's largely psychology as Magnoliaa has hinted.

It is very easy to become the things that we experienced... to imbibe the behaviours that we observed... that were a constant in our growing up.

That's the importance of intentional parenting. There has to be deliberateness every step of the way.

In the communication...
In your actions, because children watch.
In how you discipline...
In what you condone

Understanding the motives behind your actions.

That's they way to break the cycle.
