Forgiveness is key in keeping a strong family unit. No matter what offenses they have done to you, you must remember that you are a family that can grow and learn depending on how you take it and work through it. Sometimes there is nothing you can do to help the situation because the person who is hurting people doesn't wish to change. The first step to failure, though, is giving up in the home.
I know not everyone has the same religious views as I do but I know without a doubt that we will be judged by God and the way we judge other people is the way that he will judge us. Part of judging is not understanding. Most of the time its, in fact, a misunderstanding. If we take the time to listen to one another, we can actually understand what the other is saying and get a firmer grasp on what is actually happening.
