As we all know, communication with anyone is an important part of life, and it’s critical with family. So many emotions, feelings, misunderstandings… Sometimes you’re automatically playing in a mine field or walking on eggs.
Recently I went through this with my younger sister and her daughter, my niece. My sister asked a question and things I felt for a long time became part of my answer, because I really needed to say them and didn’t want to cause ill will. So after that explosion settled down, things were said and forgiven, understanding occurred for everyone, and it’s all good. Great in fact. My niece and I are closer than we’ve ever been.
How cool is that?
