Good day Fellow Mylotters, For the past months and days, I feel like, I am in a limbo. That, I kept on thinking what happen to the unity of our family. That before, we used to be united in every decision. But now, its not anymore. The family where I grew up, was not that close and united anymore. We are now divided, no support in every decision, mostly disagreement. And I really don't know why these things have happen. And I guess, I can't get back the pieces into its original state. That, I can't put back again the unity within.

I am sorry that you have to experience such a sad thing. It is good though that you are accepting this reality and trying to do something about it. Family is perhaps the most important group of people in our lives. To most, this is definitely the source of support and love. Sometimes, things can go wrong within a group which could break the bond that holds it together, even in a family. I do believe though that there is always a chance for something like this to be fixed. I do hope that everything well turn out okay again for you and your family.

I understand what you feel and what you want to imply. The next generation, the young kids will suffer the consequences after. If the older ones were having misunderstanding and disagreement- what would the younger generation feel about this. This will surely divide them too- and what will happen next? There would be no more connection with the family- too bad right? I also feel the same when misunderstanding occurs with me and my siblings. I am not thinking about us (old ones) I am thinking of our kids- I don't want them to be divided. No one will help each other when the family ties broke and everyone detach from any connection.

when family members grow older they form their own opinions and sometimes that's why there is dis agreement but even if you disagree you should find things that you can agree with, that way you can restore the unity of the family

I have noticed this kind of situation from my father's family. What they did is to communicate and they try to spend time together especially for special occasion. There were disagreements but later on they are still united. Respect is very important I think. Respecting one's opinion over the others.

That is the very same way with our family too. We are not really as close as we used to be. Life has made things change a lot.
