Top 8 Family Conflicts
Modern families have different conflicts. Our social structure has changed a lot due to bombarding information. Daily soaps, movies and even now information from various platforms have affected the family structure. It is now difficult to sit with one idea within the four or three family members. DIFFERENCES IN OPINION AND ACCEPTANCE WERE FOUND NEGLIGIBLE WITHIN THE FAMILY. First of all, you must understand and acknowledge that "Yes! there is a problem in the family." If you feel like you are choked up and unable to share your points and feeling submissive then it is time to assess your family structure.
Parents Conflicts
Those families where parents are separated or divorced are found more vulnerable. Even in the case of parents who are not sharing a healthy marital life and staying together because of kids' responsibilities and social stigma found more conflicts in the family. Children learn and are affected by the behaviours of parents and slowly adapt the same behaviour. They learnt later in their marriage life the reflection of their parent's marriage life. When there are conflicts between parents as a couple those family members find various mental disorders.
Conflicts Between Parents and Children
Generation Gap is not a new word for anyone. Because our exposure towards information has increased we all have slowly shifted our own thoughts and adapted the fascinated one. Parents are concerned about their children's studies and the well-being of life. They are more concerned with the excessive use of mobile and OTT platforms which has drastically changed the environment of the house. Because now children get things fast and with less effort their understanding of their parents' hardship is difficult. At the same time, parents put pressure on children to be within their limits. And lack of understanding converted into major family conflicts.
How to Say "No"
Who is dominant over whom will be decided later part of some incidents. Why? When parents are too concerned for their children and put so much pressure children become submissive or dominant in the later part of life. They set themselves with certain beliefs and assumptions about their parents and the world. They do not know when to say "NO". In fear of pleasing another, they have more inner conflicts. Within the family it creates conflict.
Toxic Environment
When a single member of the family especially a head of the family has some personality disorder problem. The rest of the family members are too vulnerable. They have a daily series of conflicts, bullying and shouting. They have conflicts which affect their physical and mental health as the whole environment becomes toxic
Financial Issues
Losing of business or loss of job having financial strain is a big problem of family conflicts. However, currently, the aspirations and expectations of family members are more than what they earn. Which slowly started feeling the crunch for finances. The easy availability of loans increases purchasing capacity but also creates a burden of payment. Financial insecurity takes displacement in family conflicts.
Over Expectations
Expectations of parents over children and children over parents are interlinked. Families with a lack of understanding create a burden on one person who is more vulnerable. Feelings of over-expectation and lack of acceptance and understanding convert into family conflicts.
Lack of Communication
Professional work life has increased because people earn money. Earning money is misunderstood as freedom. Rather it has created lots of conflicts. In keeping always busy in work to achieve social financial status many times found with a lack of communication. Even mobile phones and televisions take place in the drawing room or dining table at the time of communication. When the deep feel of communication requires all or half of family members to scroll and stare at their tiny screen. feeling of being alone or lonely has increased more due to lack of communication and understanding.
Social Status & Trauma
What others are thinking? This may be the most fearful thought in most minds. Because we humans like to be appreciated and acknowledged. In fear of social status, many families never express their true feelings. Rather they keep a shield on their face and their internal feelings and outer behaviors are very different. This has increased mental instability and disorders, Even in case of unresolved Trauma like parents' separation, death of a loved one or ill health has caused a lot emotionally. Those feelings are converted and take place into family conflicts.
