Do you find it tough to live with problematic family members? Discover the many types of conflict and how to deal with broken family connections.

What exactly is a dysfunctional family relationship?

Mothers, fathers, siblings—your closest clan can provide you with lifelong social support. They can share in your happiness and comfort you when you're down. Nonetheless, disputes and misunderstandings are unavoidable. Small confrontations between family members are common, and they usually resolve themselves or with some constructive communication.

Strong head family members might force family members to disagree. The development of dysfunctional family relationships can have long-term consequences for your health and well-being. In order to avoid family discord;

• You could wish to discuss aspects of your children's inheritance with them to avoid future disagreement, or you might want to explain to your siblings why you can't contribute to a shared expense.
• Establish limits and improve your emotional intelligence (EQ). To relax, take a big breath of fresh air and listen to music. This can benefit not just your family relationships but also your general mental wellness.

Talk to your spouse and agree on a time limit for the visit. Recognize that a tough family member may be experiencing difficulties of their own.
