Family and Life

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
Marilyn Monroe

It is apparent that in need one's best and first shoulder to lean on will be of course be provided by one's FAMILY.

Note that not all family structures are made up in such a way as to provide a base or foundation for one to do same. For example , it is a given that money changes people and by extension the relationship structure of the a family.

How often do we hear of family squabbles over bequeathed or disputed estates, where once there was unity there now lies a division between siblings .....Yes sibling rivalry, heard of it?

I'm sure you may have had personal a experience in same or know of someone who has or who is presently going through this dilemma.

So now that this base or sanctuary has been eroded, where do or does one turn for absolution. The lawyers? Whose only interest in a family dispute is reap the rewards of a long term non resolute, non communal , estranged family setting? In fact for the lawyers its always a win win scenario.

With that said it is always good to remember that a compromise is an agreement whereby both parties get what neither of them wanted. Anybody can win, unless there happens to be a second entry. And that goes without saying especially as it relates to family and family related issues, financial or otherwise.

So heads up people, you are not in any way alone out there when it comes to fighting the ultimate fight in Family and Life........
.
To quote the words of Oscar Wilde(1854 – 1900) an Irish author, and poet, and one of London's most popular playwrights of the same era:

"There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."
