Family Conflict

Therapy For Family Conflict

Family Conflict

Conflict can happen when family members have contrasting views or convictions that differ. Often times conflict can occur when people misunderstand each other and jump to the wrong conclusion. Issues of conflict that are not resolved peacefully can lead to arguments and resentment. It is normal to disagree with each other from time to time. Occasional conflict is part of family life. However, ongoing conflict can be stressful and damaging to relationships. Some people find it difficult to manage their feelings and become intentionally hurtful, aggressive or even violent. Communicating in a positive way can help reduce conflict so that family members can reach a peaceful resolution.

Common Causes For Family Conflict

It is well recognized that some of the stages a family goes through can cause conflict. These may include:

  • Learning to live as a new couple
  • Birth of a baby
  • Birth of other children
  • A child going to school
  • A child becoming a young person
  • A young person becoming an adult.

Each of these stages can create new and different stresses and potential conflict
Changes in the family situation can also take a toll on the family and contribute to conflict. This may include events such as:

  • Separation or divorce
  • Moving to a new house or country
  • Traveling long distances to work
  • Commuting interstate for work.
  • Change in financial circumstances.

The opinions, values and needs of each parent can also change and they may find they are no longer compatible.

"Love your family. Spend time, be kind & serve one another. Make no room for regrets. Tomorrow is not promised & today is short."
