I have a serious question, and I'm hoping somebody here knows enough about this to be able to give me an answer. Sorry I'm so long-winded.
I'm beginning to wonder if my family and I are cursed. Since August 2001, an alarming number of life crisises have been happening to my family and I. It started out when I had some severe shortness of breath episodes and heart problems. I went to the doctor, but they couldn't find anything wrong with me. At that time, there was a man who moved into the house with my husband, Michael, and I. Everytime I was around our roommate, the episodes would get worse. About a month and a half later, I found out I was a month pregnant. It was an unplanned pregnancy, and I wasn't ready for it at all, but I made the best of the situation at the time. When I was 7 and a half months pregnant, Michael got laid off from his job. We were travelling all over the country finding a stable place to stay during my last trimester, and I didn't even know where i was going to be giving birth up until the 39th week. Our roommate, Matt, was always having terrible luck it seemed, (but I found out later he lied nonstop about almost everything in his life.) Well, he stoped paying rent, claiming that something tragic came up, and my husband and I, being the nice people we are, cut him some slack. Well, things really went downhill from there. To keep it brief and to the point, these are the things that happened since then:
We can't make payments on the house, the realtor is twiddling her thumbs, the extra room they're supposed to build for us keeps getting delayed, we've had vandals ruin the house so it's almost impossible to sell it, Michael can't get a job no matter where he applies and how hard he tries, Matt left Michael with a total of $7000 of debt and stole a car that they had both cosigned on before this all happened. I've been trying to go back in the Army so I have a stable job, but the recruiter that was handling my paperwork became almost fatally ill, and then the week after that, there was a fire and they had to move their office and more delays all the time. Our baby girl has been born too, but she has had chronic medical problems. So I'm wondering, could we be under a curse of some kind, or is it normal for people to have this much drama in their lives in less than a year's time. I'm just looking for any clues as to what this could be. Thank you very much for your time.

It's normal. It happens. Based on what you say, there's no reason to believe there's some magical reason really; sh*t happens.

I essentially agree with Raevyn... sounds like some bad breaks, combined with decisions based on deceitful information (ie: the roommate)...

When it rains it pours, doesn't it? You might see if someone in the Astrology forum can give you some insight. I've been having some financial and career issues and was looking for a job when Mercury was retrograde. I found out that this is not a good time to start anything new, and I am now glad that I was turned down for several jobs that I applied for. Several people in the Astrology forum were very helpful to me. And quite a few of my friends have had a less than terrific year this year.

You might also ask for a tarot or rune reading. Readings can help us identify problems and figure out which way to go.

Excuse my philosophic nature. It sounds like it may even be self imposed. You can easily will yourself into bad situations, and send out signal flares to people who are looking to hurt people. Just thinking you have been cursed implies that you are worried and insecure. Evil beings search for these signs constantly.

Well-spoken, Veli. :) In addition, either fearing or hoping for a possibility gives that possibility power - if I fear my computer will short out, I may at a subconscious level do something that will cause just that to happen. Or it may not be so specific - generally, a "my life is crap" attitude (even when justified) only delivers more of the same.

Yes - the self-fulfilling prophecy. What you believe, you become. What you expect, you get. You might work on destroying this negative belief and replacing it with a more positive one.

I have been changing my attitude, which takes time, I know. Things really have been improving for the past couple of days in more ways than I've expected. For those of you who responded, thank you very much for your time. Your responses have been very insightful. I feel kind of silly for not seeing the obvious much sooner.

The only silly question is the one that is not asked. Often getting other opinions helps us see things more clearly.
