Hey @MB95  family stuff can be really hard and even if people are good people that doesnt make them immune from making mistakes and hurting others even by accident. communication in families is something i am learning is way more important than it seems like often we think we are communicating well and clearly and then it turns out we just arent. like i used to have some issues with my family where i just felt like they didnt care at all and looking back they did and i was just extremely paranoid and had a lot going on that was making me think and feel certain ways about things around me but it caused a lot of issues with communication which have since improved. idk i would recommend the good old "i feel" statements they are always a good way to express yourself without blaming others and getting an automatic defensive reaction from them. but the other thing that is hard is that communication is a two way street and even if you are doing everything you can to be effective in communication sometimes it still wont work if the other person is not able to do the same. you can only do so much. it is a complicated situation though and i think you are doing the best you can.
