my father and brother are in a serious conflict with each other right now, as my father has complained about the way my brother raises his son. obviously it is a really stressful, tenuous situation and i have no idea who s side to take, and i am worried it will lead to them not wanting to keep in touch anymore.
yeah, you are right. it is kind of complicated, but i definitely should not try to pick sides. i just want everyone to get along, but it is not that simple. it is like i cannot figure out if i try to make peace, whether that will make things more complicated or not, and whether i should just stay out of it. time will tell.
family conflict is always hard. maybe you do not need to take a side and try to work for peace.
