In our continuing discussion on solving family conflicts, one should understand that the parties involved are part and parcel of why there is a conflict. Whoever is at fault, everybody should accept him. You'll be surprised, even though you're confident that you are 100% right ... after a thorough investigation ... when the dust settles and the smoke is clear ,,, the person who is at fault maybe is YOU. So don't be cocky.
If they accept you ... you should be man enough to accept that you are wrong. Accept the criticism and the diatribes thrown your way. And it will be a great help if you say you're sorry. Explore the gray areas ,,, especially when it is difficult to judge who was right and who was wrong.
Our family is our lifeline. As they say, you can choose your circle of compadres ... but you can't just drop a family member like a hot potato. You can cut them out of your life if you want to ... but the painful process is emotionally draining. It is just like putting salt in your gaping wound.
