Is there a rift in your family that is ripping your loved ones apart? Whether the incident happened decades ago or just last week, do you really want to lose someone you love over it? If you have not been able to forgive, forget or even speak to a relative because of a disagreement, consider these tips from Dr. Phil:
1. Get to the root of what caused the rift.
Have you really uncovered what the issue is that has you fighting so bitterly? You can’t move forward until you get to the bottom of when and how it all began. For example, do you think you’re fighting over money — but really there is a decade of jealousy that needs to be addressed? Do you blame the problem on a new boyfriend, when in fact your sibling left you feeling betrayed long ago? Once you determine the true reason you’re fighting, it will be easier to start the healing process.
