There have been some recent strife in my life. Depending on your point of view, it's not the worst thing that could happen, but then again it could maybe have been minimized had we all sat down and talked about things. We did try, but apparently some of the things said were disregarded later. Then things were said that were taken the wrong way and said the wrong way. Consequently the strife erupted Now, the parties involved are all on facebook and things get said that while are partly true, it's the things unsaid that could lead people to believe that all the blame for the strife belongs on a particular side.
I'm not one to air my dirty laundry on facebook. I think that is not the proper forum to discuss things with family members or friends. Email is better for that because it's private. I am trying to not say anything and cause more trouble. I hate strife especially when it is family related.
What I'd like to know is what do you do when there is family strife on-line? How do you handle your point of view and defend yourself when you feel the need to?
I suppose I could just respond here, but this isn't much better than facebook in that regard in that it's not private. On the other hand, I feel a strong urge to say something in response to a post or 2 by one of the offended parties in my family strife (I keep spelling "strife" without the "r" and having to go back to fix it). Should I just drop it and let the status fall off the wall or send an email asking the offended party in question to at least acknowledge both sides of the story?
Well, I'll let this set and maybe somebody will respond.
I hope that all of you who read this have a great and wonderful day.
