If a mother accidentally curses/damns her child after being hurt and angry, will her damnation be acceptable?
If a mother is hurt and gets angry because of her adult son’s behavior, and curses/damns him and his family at that moment, but then regrets it and prays to Allah for this curse not to come true, is it too late? She never harbors ill intentions toward her children and always prays to Allah to keep them well and guide them on the path of Islam.

Dear Brother / Sister,
Allah is the one who will accept prayers. He knows both the past and the present as well as the future. Therefore, we hope that He will not accept the damnation because He knows that the mother will regret her damnation.
After that, you pray as you said.
