We are not guilty of our fatherins, but because they sinned, we will have to live with the consequences of their sin, and we are doomed to continue to live in the way we were taught by them unless we repent.

This is the only way to stop cycles of abuse and do away with family traditions, habits and patterns of living that are not in line with God's holiness.
