I am a little hesitant to ask this question as I suspect that I am not going to like the answer, but here goes anyway….
I was raised in a family that was very ‘reserved’ we did not raise our voices, express emotions openly, disagree with anyone in public etc.
Of-course I married someone who’s family is quite the opposite ,lots of arguments, yelling, cutting off relationships over minor disagreements etc.
At first I found this quite refreshing and if I were to be honest, was quite intrigued and enjoyed the drama.
That novelty has now worn off and I find myself being resentful of the amount of time and energy that is spent, caught in the middle of all this conflict.
I have been looking at where I do the same thing as well as sitting in the suffering and although this has been so helpful in almost every other relationship I have. I am stuck on this one. HELP.
I just find myself wanting to avoid family get togethers or if I attend find a way to distract myself or withdraw from the conversations. Is there ever a time when it is better to just avoid/walk away from the whole situation?
Thank you,
Loads of love as always, (even if you send me back in)
