I have an Aunt who usually blames her relatives and ancestors on her misfortunes in life. She believes that every failures in her life has something to do with her relative's negative doings.
Like for instance, lately she discovered that her husband cheated on her. And she jumped into conclusion that it's a curse from her ancestors because she had relatives who practiced polygamous relationship.
Do you think her misfortunes have something to do with her past? DOn't you think there are also factors wherein she is to be blamed for the misfortunes that she has?

Heh, that reminds me of the movie Holes.
"It's all because of my no good dirty rotten pig stealing great, great grandfather!"
But no..the misfortunes are either her own fault, some other living person's, or no one's. That's how the world works..most of the time.
I'm guilty of somewhat jokingly blaming my fictional "Rubberband people" (I borrowed the idea for them off of the sitcomBecker lol). The fates which give you something good before waiting to give you back the bad equivilent of all the good you get. But I ever truly take it seriously..it's just habit to say "It was those rubberband people again". Maybe she just got into the habit of blaming her ancestors? A way of dealing with the situation. Otherwise I dunno.

We are all responsible for our own actions. Blaming others especially our relatives (or ancestors) will never help in achieving the life that we wanted. If you fall bad or if things don't go your way, don't blame others. Instead, assess yourself.
It's her OWN negativity that brings her to her misfortunes.
