Children learn mistakes and sin from their parents. Growing up in a home of fighting leads to bad character traits later on. The article I found says, " When parents do something that is wrong, their children are very likely to justify the same action."

The Devil makes us think our reputation and sin defines who we are. He tricks us and tells us lies about ourself. We can leave the darkness and join God in the light, leaving the path our parents are taking.

In my article it talked about children of troubled parents turning to Christ. They were completely changed and God gave them a purpose. Their parents still wallowed in their sin and lived their hopeless lives. Everyone has an opportunity to be made new in Jesus.
