5 Signs You Are The Black Sheep (Generational Curse Breaker) of Your Family
A black sheep is the generational curse breaker of their bloodline.
Most families have at least one person who doesn’t mesh with everyone else. These individuals march to their own beat and are often the focus of conversations at family gatherings. You may be the lesbian, the art enthusiast, the free-spirit who travels the world, the person who marries outside their race, or the Democrat in a house of Republicans (or the person who doesn’t like politics at all). You are different in every way, and your family doesn’t get it. They might ask, “Why are you like this? No one understands you!” Your family might even be embarrassed by you.
If you are the black sheep of your family, it was not only decided before you incarnated to Earth but there is a more significant explanation. The primary reason why families have a black sheep is to break generational cycles that lead to bloodline curses. A generational curse (or ancestral sin) may cause repeated patterns involving alcoholism, divorce, mental illness, racism (or race-related traumas), poverty or financial mismanagement, and various addictions. These traumas will replicate unless someone is courageous enough to break the cycle.
Below, I list five signs you are the generational curse breaker of your family.
№1 You Feel Like You’re Adopted
Many black sheep question if they were adopted or switched at birth. You feel you’re in the wrong family because you struggle to connect or relate. Your style of music, morals, values, and worldview may differ. You might even be the redhead in a house full of blondes. You are on the left, and everyone else is on the right. Because of these vast differences, black sheep often feel isolated, disregarded, and disconnected from their family.
№2 You Dislike Family Functions
Black sheep have a disdain for family functions. We feel they are fake, unnecessary, and a waste of time. We dislike them because we are usually the primary focus and want to be left alone. We rarely look forward to the holiday season and prefer to skip out on these celebrations whenever possible. Black sheep will show up out of obligation and because (despite what people think) we are kind-hearted.
№3 You Are Authentic
To be a black sheep is to be a leader, and to be a true leader is to be authentic. Black sheep don’t fit in because we are to stand out. We don’t mesh with our families because we are the disruptors, the generational curse breakers. To hold this title, you must be comfortable with who you are. For this reason, many black sheep are eccentric, open-minded, and extremely creative. We are colorful individuals by design.
№4 You Are Independent
Most black sheep are self-reliant and enjoy alone time. Though some may appear extroverted, we are commonly introverts (or lean more towards introversion). We prefer to work on personal projects, travel solo, and keep our circles small. We are naturally independent since we’ve been alone most of our lives. Although we are open to dating and relationships, it isn’t our primary focus. We would rather wait for the right one than entertain the wrong one. Therefore, we generally do not have a long list of serious partners.
№5 You Are A Truth Seeker
Black sheep are headstrong, independent truth seekers. We refuse to take anything at face value. We question religion, politics, and life in general. Though our families are content with things as they are, we are not. We are deep thinkers who challenge the system and social paradigms. We refuse to do as told without asking follow-up questions, so we walk the path less traveled. We accept this because we prefer to embrace the truth over living in a lie.
Closing Remarks
It is crucial to mention that many black sheep may battle bloodline trauma. For example, some struggle with alcoholism and other family-related addictions. In my case, my brother (and sister), my father, his father, and so on were alcoholics with tremendous health issues. For a while, I found myself drinking and partying heavily. If I had not experienced an awakening and entered healing, I would have repeated the cycle and drank myself to death.
We can not heal our bloodline unless we heal ourselves. Many black sheep break the cycle without tip-toeing in these patterns, but some of us do. It depends on our life path, past lives, and soul purpose. Whichever it is, be patient with yourself and understand you are carrying the torch for future generations. It may take many lifetimes to eradicate ancestral sins, but find comfort in knowing you are leading the way. Love, Ari.
