Family drama can be tough because, unlike friends, you can't choose your family. There's expectations and pressure, and sometimes that all adds up to be a tough experience. This week Meagan and Lauren talk about how to deal with this drama, specifically when you want to engage and deal with the problem or when you want to get a little distance from it.
