and connect with me 24 seven at dr laura.com brian welcome to the program hi dr laura how are you i'm fine

how can i help brian great um i am calling today because I'm having difficulty with my relationship with my parents,

as well as my siblings. I have four younger sisters. And in the past, I would say five to six

years maybe.

There's obviously a lot of dynamics with a big family,

but what will happen is with any family disagreement,

my parents have this tendency, especially a lot recently,

where they express what they have to say.

And a lot of times it's in written form like a letter.

And it could be a small issue or it could be a big issue or complaint.

And then they will per se ghost me or my siblings.

So they'll disappear and have no contact for several weeks

or maybe up to a couple months because they're mad. And then by the time we reconnect with anything

or agree to reconnect, a lot of individuals don't even know why they're upset anymore.

But then it creates, I guess, future grudges for other arguments.

And then it's a building thing.

So then things keep getting worse over time.

Only if you participate.

Okay.
