No matter how much families love each other, there will always come a time when you feel like strangling some of them.

I have been going through some tough times recently.  Trying to understand how me and my sibblings could possibly be related if we're so different.

I feel like our whole value system is different. 

I usually argue because of certain things I believe is right or wrong.  I have tried this with one of my sibblings, and each time we get to the point of something being right or wrong, we differ so much, there is just no way we can even begin to sort things out.  We just have to live with it.

I suppose that happens to people when they get married - they adapt, and adopt the other persons habbits, which is what I'm guessing went wrong (in my opinion).

There are various areas which have constant tension between us - but especially so children, and the way they treat adults.  It is a huge problem for me, but I know that if I dare say something there will be a huge fight.  Which I don't want at this point.  I don't want to pollute the air. 

This specific family member isn't around all the time, they live very far away from us, and we only see each other once a year if all goes well....

I don't know which is worse.  Feeling the constant tension and keeping quiet.  Or opening my mouth, saying what I feel, and then living with the consequences. 

I have to think about this really hard before deciding anything.
