"In 2007 Rowan, his dad, and mother (Kristin Neff, a psychology professor at the Universityof Texas) took a journey across Mongolia on horseback, going from traditional healer to traditional healer, shaman to shaman, looking for healing. They went out with a child still tantrumming, still un-toilet trained, and cut off from other children. They came back with a child no longer tantrumming, toilet trained and able to make friends."

Cruden, Alexander   Cruden's Concordance   "On his flyleaf, Charles H Spurgeon wrote, 'For these 10 years this has been the book at my left hand when the Word of God has been at my right.  Thais half-crazy Cruden did better service to the church and half of the DD's and LLD's of all time.'  We agree!  Thank You Lord for such a wonderful gift to Your church/bride.  Cruden was born into a strict Calvinistic home in Scotland in 1699...He experienced bouts of mental illness, for which he was confined in an asylum.  3 times his confinement was due to failed love affairs."

Daniel 4:33-34         Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled.  He was driven away from people and ate grass like cattle.  His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird. 
"At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored.  Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified Him Who lives forever."

I Am Potential    Patrick Henry Hughes    autobiography    10/2/2008
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcZEV5PgtUs&feature=channel   
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with a rare genetic disorder that left him without eyes and physically disabled. But he was also blessed with exceptional musical talent—able to play the piano as a toddler and ...at age 19, a nationally known pianist, singer, and trumpeter who has performed at the Grand Ole Opry and the Kennedy Center. Currently he’s a member of his college marching band, playing while his devoted father pushes him in his wheelchair...Now, for the first time, Hughes and his father share the full account of his extraordinary journey. In I Am Potential, Hughes recounts the 8 critical lessons he has learned that are at the heart of his success, including When Life Gives You Lemons, Accept Them and Be Grateful and Do All You Can to Change What You Can.”

- cool theme of being "blessed" by God with a special needs child -
However, the bottom line is that in most cases, the root cause of family "curses" is one or more demons, unforgiven/unconfessed ancestral/family iniquity/sin, and/or unbroken evil spells/ proclamations by/from occult practitioners.
