Wednesday, March 3, 2021 – You may feel that you need to let a hurtful experience with a family member slide without sharing how you feel. This could be because you don’t want to come off as sensitive or you may not want to hurt their feelings, however, if you don’t talk about it, there's no way they can know that they've done something wrong. Other people can’t read our minds even if we think we are being obvious, so speaking up is always the best option for authentic and effective communication.
