Navigating tricky family bonds 🌟​

Dealing with a tough relative? I’ve been there. 😩 First, I set clear boundaries—no politics, no pet names, and limited time together. “I feel uncomfortable when…” worked better than “You need to stop…” 🗣️ I also tried empathy—listening and tuning into their body language. 🤔 It didn’t fix everything, but it helped me understand them better. And when things got heated, I focused on deep breathing or a quick walk to reset. 🌬️ I avoided sensitive topics and leaned on positive memories—like the time they helped me move. 🏠 Most importantly, I accepted them for who they are, flaws and all. 💖 How do you handle tricky family dynamics?
