Know that a curse, even (simply) the indignation of parents acts very strongly. And even if the parents did not curse their children, but simply became indignant because of them, then the children do not have a single bright day in their lives: their whole life is one continuous torment. Then such children suffer greatly throughout their earthly life.
The parental curse includes all the bad words we have said throughout our entire lives, i.e. not only those that are said: “I curse you,” but also such as: “fool, moron, underdeveloped, unreasonable, freak, ignoramus, you will see it in your children,” etc. (negative words).
We only have the right to say: “God save you, God protect you, God help you, and I believe in you, that you will succeed, I am glad that you made an independent decision, but you should have consulted me... and all in that spirit (positive).”
A child is an innocent angel by nature and if he has deviations due to bad upbringing, then the reason is in us. Look for sin in yourself and eradicate it. Having cleansed yourself, the child is automatically cleansed. A mother's prayer for her children drives away all demons from them (the demon of drunkenness, the demon of smoking, the demon of fornication, etc.). A mother's prayer will get the child from the bottom of hell. Cry for your children, mothers, and do not curse, and the Lord will arrange everything.
☦️Saint Paisios of Mt. Athos (Quote Translated into English)
This is the peaceful life of the saints. The meek are those who submit to wickedness and do not resist evil but overcome evil with good. Let the haughty therefore quarrel and contend for earthly and temporal things. But “blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the land.” This is the land from which they cannot be expelled. .
- Augustine of Hippo

My atheist friends, consider giving this a lesson.

GM☦️ Christ has ascended!
St. Maximos the Confessor explains why people often do not understand God’s Holy Love and Providence.
“As long as I remain imperfect and refractory, neither obeying God by practising the commandments nor becoming perfect in spiritual knowledge, Christ from my point of view also appears imperfect and refractory because of me. For I diminish and cripple Him by not growing in spirit with Him, since I am 'the body of Christ and one of its members' (I Cor. 12:27).”
Blessed feast of the Holy Ascension☦️ 
"God is gone up in jubilation, the Lord with the voice of the trumpet."
Psalm 46:5

Solzhenitsyn from his Templeton Address:
Our life consists not in the pursuit of material success but in the quest of worthy spiritual growth. Our entire earthly existence is but a transitional stage in the movement toward something higher, and we must not stumble and fall, nor must we linger fruitlessly on one rung of the ladder. Material laws alone do not explain our life or give it direction. The laws of physics and physiology will never reveal the indisputable manner in which The Creator constantly, day in and day out, participates in the life of each of us, unfailingly granting us the energy of existence; when this assistance leaves us, we die. In the life of our entire planet, the Divine Spirit moves with no less force: this we must grasp in our dark and terrible hour.
Instead of the ill-advised hopes of the last two centuries, which have reduced us to insignificance and brought us to the brink of nuclear and non-nuclear death, we can only reach with determination for the warm hand of God, which we have so rashly and self-confidently pushed away. If we did this our eyes could be opened to the errors of this unfortunate 20th century and our hands could be directed to set them right. There is nothing else to cling to, in the landslide: all the thinkers of the Enlightenment can give us nothing.
Our five continents are caught in a whirlwind. But it is during such trials that the highest gifts of the human spirit are manifested. If we perish and lose this world, the fault will be ours alone.
