It’s basically a sin pattern that gets passed down from generation to generation.
For example, if a child grows up in a household where one parent abuses the other, chances are they’ll grow up to abuse their own spouse. Or if they were abused themselves as a child, they might be more likely to abuse their own children. Same thing for certain addictions, control issues, anger, sloth, etc. Or it might be something as basic as poverty, or never having an opportunity for education— you hear about families where they have their first high school or college graduate ever graduating from school, and how proud they are of them.
Generational bondage can be broken, of course, but it takes a lot of work-- and grace-- to break free from the cycle.

Via my former occupation I dealt with generational satanists --yah it’s ugly. I would dare say it is reflected in the DNA. Just IMHO.

If you mean in relation to “Healing the Family Tree”, steer well clear of it.

I had a coworker once who had a very troubled past, but was married to a very sweet Catholic lady who was first math teacher, then principal, of a Catholic elementary school.
He literally didn’t know who his father was, but thought he might have been a plumber with his same last name, who was listed in the yellow pages. His mother “got around” quite a bit, he said, and he was abused and neglected much of the time. He routinely fought in and outside of bars just for the sake of fighting. He served in the navy and made high interest “payday” loans to others, and spent a month in the brig for attacking another sailor while he was asleep, for default on loan payment – he swatted him with an ironing board and broke his arm.
You wouldn’t know any of this by the way he behaved at work, though, and he was a practicing Catholic. When he was about to have a child, he told me of his commitment to raise his own child in a loving way that was totally opposite his own upbringing.
They had the child, and guess what? He was the best father that child could want, and the child was precious and happy.
Soon after that he went to computer school and became an excellent network administrator and got a great job with IBM.
Just thought I’d share an exceptional case in this area.
