Not really curses.
There are purely genetic problems of course. Otherwise, it's probably the result of repeated behaviors, not necessarily a curse. Spoiling children rotting so they fail in life, generation after generation. Never taking risks. Taking too many risks. Bad attitudes about education. Physical abuse. Alcoholism. Behaviors such as these get passed on and people never seem to learn from sometimes. Someone mentioned the Kennedys. I wouldn't say it's a curse. Just a lot of bad behavior. You reap what you sow.

This.
I do believe in inherited mental illness and the impact of dysfunction across generations. I’m fighting against it and winning. Started with my kids in infancy. One is 24 and showing it pays off.

My maternal great grandmother (mother's, mother's, mother) lost her husband when he was in his 50s to a massive heart attack. This was in the mid 1940s.
My grandmother's (mother's mother) husband became very ill and pretty much bed ridden for many year and kept alive with life support. Eventually died at 72. This was about 20 years ago.
My father passed away from cancer at 67 after a short illness just this year.
So I am starting to believe my maternal family is cursed. God help my husband.
Cursed with what, death at roughly the age that most men of their generation died at? Sorry about your dad, he was the only outlier.
I believe it was sarcastic.

I do too...genectics and learned dsyfunction are difficult to overcome. My family has both.
Staying away from alchohol and cigarettes is helpful too, and very hard for people who are self medicating.

Genetics.
Sad history of alcoholic gamblers--probably genetic predispositions.

Yes. It's called a familiar spirit.

Just curious -- how is this related to religion? Do the curses come from God?

No. Makes for a fun summer beach read, though.
