Answer 2

Creating a tighter family unit after Time and Carelessness has separated it is a very tough, yet very rewarding endeavor. My suggestion will be for you to get involved. There is a wonderful quotation by Carter Heyward in which he says: "Love, like truth and beauty, is concrete. Love is not fundamentally a sweet feeling; not, at heart, a matter of sentiment, attachment, or being "drawn toward." Love is active, effective, a matter of making reciprocal and mutually beneficial relation with one's friends and enemies.

Love creates righteousness, or justice, here on earth. To make love is to make justice. As advocates and activists for justice know, loving involves struggle, resistance, risk. People working today on behalf of women, blacks, lesbians and gay men, the aging, the poor in this country and elsewhere know that making justice is not a warm, fuzzy experience. I think also that sexual lovers and good friends know that the most compelling relationships demand hard work, patience, and a willingness to endure tensions and anxiety in creating mutually empowering bonds.

For this reason loving involves commitment. We are not automatic lovers of self, others, world, or God. Love does not just happen. We are not love machines, puppets on the strings of a deity called "love." Love is a choice -- not simply, or necessarily, a rational choice, but rather a willingness to be present to others without pretense or guile. Love is a conversion to humanity -- a willingness to participate with others in the healing of a broken world and broken lives. Love is the choice to experience life as a member of the human family, a partner in the dance of life, rather than as an alien in the world or as a deity above the world, aloof and apart from human flesh."

You must take the first step and reunite the family. Get them all BY FORCE at first, as you will discover there is no other way - and then interact. Don't push it. Things aren't magically going to happen. But the simple fact that you're trying and opening communication will get you to where you want to go.

And if it takes a lifetime, so be it.

Answer 8

you sound like a kind and caring person, what you need to do is offer yourself to your family as a person they can confide in. let them know that you are always there for them and assure them that you will keep eveything they say in confidence unless they ask you or tell you it's ok to tell others. if it is a family situation be sure to tell all involved that you will not take sides but will remain impartial andask how you can help to resolve things

Answer 9

You could consider becoming a clinical psychologist working with famillies and children and they'd get to talk 2 u about their problems. To do this you'd have to do a PhD however but its worthwhile

Answer 10

Don't. People will drive you nuts with their constant whining and griping about something all the time and will call you all hours of the night and day.
