Should I even avoid my family?

meltdown71835 · 12-13-2005, 07:21 PM

Before my dad died, I was silent in the house and frankly I was happy that way since my mom or sister didn't really bother me when he was around. Now that he's gone, the girls of the house have been getting really snappy and I just want to get away from them. They don't know how to drop arguments and keep on insisting to continue every single fit, so I'm considering just trying to stay away from them. They both need counsoling buy my mom thinks it should be a family thing, even though I just want to be silent and do whatever I do. Should I avoid them until they cool off or try to fix anything that's wrong with them?

You can't fix them if they don't know what's wrong with them. They can only change if they want to. I think you should just avoid them or confront them about the issue.

No, don't ever avoid them. Avoiding them will cause another issue, and it'll come back to you. If you cannot seem to find an answer to the problem, counseling may be right. Or simply, gather everyone and have a long discussion and say that no one can leave until the problem is solved. Have everyone express what they are feeling, pay attention because it might be something you are doing that you don't know. I hope everything works out with you and your family, meltdown.
