Why do the family members become enemies?


Question


Why do the family members become enemies?
i meant sisters and mother not my wife and son.


Answer


I believe it is easy for family to become the enemy because there is such a close bond. When you have such a close bond, it means that you have standards, confidence, and expectations forin that person. Because of this, when a loved one does something you disapprove of, its not like when someone else does it. When a loved one does this it is as if the sky is fallen, it is a huge betrayl of trust when it may not even be a big deal. This is even worse when living with these people as when you have a lapse in communication or some other issue, you cannot take the space you need to recover. Also, since there are so many expectations, when a mistake is made, a family member cannot help but offer suggestions and opinions, but these are in effect just poking repeatedly at an open wound given that people know right from wrong and when theyve made mistakes. And so it is that a small and normal problem spirals out of control into enimity.
