My two aunts have been fighting with each other for the last several years. My family is very reserved (inlaws debating over sports teams is considered an argument) and so fighting tends to consist of them not talking, having to arrange different housing for them, etc. My understanding is something happened a few years back, and now they are dredging up old childhood arguments and taking offence to minor things. The rest of the family gets along well (including their husbands) and their fight is hurting the rest of the family, especially my younger cousins. A while ago my grandmother tried to write them a letter encouraging them to patch things up, but it didn't work.
After this Thanksgiving I have been wondering if I should try the same thing. Maybe a plea coming from their niece might work better then one from their mother (I'm 19, so I can handle getting in the middle, if need be). We see each other only a few times a year and it's sad to see them like this.
Any thoughts?
