Family feuds can be toxic. They're usually based on an issue that escalates and gets bigger from very little, or through a history of issues. Anything and everything that brings the family to a complete halt.
Failings out
Fallings out seems to be common within families. Families can be complicated made complicated through feuds that can leave family members feeling sick to the stomach, unless you think another family member is to blame.
Rifts in families
Rifts in families can be the nature of how some families work. Anything can trigger an intense emotional response from us that can continue into other relationships, sometimes through the generations also. Disagreements, and all cause pain that can continue to emotionally harm us, if not handled or nipped in the bud.
Look at the bigger picture
It’s important not to make assumptions, but to look at the bigger picture to see how each family member can help dissipate tension. Where we may fail to acknowledge our part in a family disagreement, we may fall out.
We may carry arguments whether we think we do or not. Arguments don’t dissipate, they just stay on the back-burner until something happens and we don't cope, when all it would take is mediation. Apologies are not always forthcoming.
