Trouble at home
Hi all,
Im 25 years old, and I live at home with my parents and 2 younger brothers. I don't make enough money to move out just yet. I get along well with my parents, but I've always had a shaky relationship with my brothers, I guess we are just too different. I'm more logical and calm, whereas they are both more impulsive, extremely emotional, and get angry very easily. I have tried getting along, and it's gotten slightly better over the years, but I always have to be careful when talking to them.
Sometimes I just find it easier to not talk to them at all, to keep my peace. But then they start arguing with themselves and it's a new problem again. I'm not really sure what to do...

Hmm, just stay clam. Sometimes you just have to let loose what you can't control. You are trying and I think it's enough.
Hey 💙
Sounds like a rough situation to be in. I’m glad you understand your problem so clearly (that’s first step to solving 💙) but it really is difficult to figure out when there are so many factors out of your control.
One thing that might help may be simply removing yourself from interactions you don’t like, exactly like keeping your peace. Sometimes people just argue and there’s not much to be done 💙
You could also find a listener here in Cups to vent to during their arguments. I know for me hearing them is one thing, but hearing them alone is another. Something to think about 💙
I hope you find a solution 💙
