caught in the middle

caught in the middle

Hello Everyone Just a quick vent about family dynamics isnt it difficult when two family members can have oposing veiws of eachother and they both tell you about it cause thay dont feel comftable talking to eachother about it or at least not talk to eachother in the right way about it ,so your the one being a listening ear to both their opposing opinions of eachother thats all and especially when they are say both wanting to help you in the practical sense but both have very different ideas of the role they should have in helping other family members hard when you can equally see both their prespectives and want to stay neutral to it ,thanks for Listening friends otherwise things have generally improoved on a personal level I am just keeping on doing the best I can and am finding that Im waking up at a more reasonable time each day gradually although today I allowed myself a once off sleep in Take care

Ham in the sandwich, eh? @LostAngel .

It sounds like that trust you if both sides want to speak to you. Perhaps this is your chance not to make a judgment, but rather, encourage each person to see both sides and to consider the other person's feelings.

What do you think?

Thank You @tyme I do agree although it isnt easy I did try to atleast get one of them to maybe understand the others perspective
