Dealing with Family Drama

I attended a family reunion yesterday. There were undercurrents of past family conflicts. Some wanted to bypass the old conflicts and go on as if nothing had happened. Some were able to do this, while others had a harder time and still felt hurt. Sometimes a relative might not know what the family issue is or why there are still hurt feelings. Sometimes you have to be very clear, stating your feelings from your point of view without being accusatory. It's not easy. But then, it's not easy to carry the burden of feeling wronged fior years. Every once in a while it will arise to trip you up when you least expect it.
