Being stuck in the middle of a family feud

[Dude420]

It's just so aggravating when all you want is for everyone in your family to actually communicate and cooperate with each other, but all you get are people with their own agendas and you're stuck in the middle of it.

 

I mean, a few years ago I moved in with a cousin of mine and all the years I've known her, we're like brother and sister, we're always glad to help each other out and are completely compatible. Thing is though, there were times when she would have a little scuff with my mom when arguing, but this is once in the blue moon.

 

Now just recently, our families started getting into a feud and now she's involved too. I think I'm the only one in the entire family that has stayed neutral the entire time because I'm working and going to University (and I'm the only one in the family that's currently enrolled, everyone else just works), I can't afford the extra stress. The only good thing is that when my cousin and I are home, we never come up with the topic at all and just act like we normally do.

 

However, this crap is now getting progressively worse and I feel like I'll have no choice but get forcefully drafted in this war. You know, it's either one or the other type of deal. A part of me feels that I have to move out of this apartment ASAP and just live with people who aren't family. I feel it just gets more awkward between her and I even though we don't show it.

 

Well, if there's anything positive to go by, at least my parents are understanding of my situation and try their best not to get me involved. It just sucks though.

Yes, I know what your going through. Cousins are not really the best to go live with or hang with either. They can turn against you at anytime. Like they're almost jealous of what you have with your family and not what they have with theirs. Plus some can hold resentment for years like a hidden sleeper ready to unleash itself into the family. Best to stay with close friends instead of them. Stay in school and build yourself up better than the rest of them. You have to be in THE NOW! Your intent is to be something you can prove you can achieve. Move on and get out away from the negative family members they will just do you harm and keep you away from being positive always.
