I'm not well today. Because within my family I have bad relationship with one of my brother's wife. I'm a little bit confused what to do now! How do you ensure good relationship with your family members?

Thank you!

I moved away from my family. But, that may not be an option for you.

It's amazing how distance can deal with family issues.

CPT Lawrence Cable my blood family is very toxic. Even when. I was AD home on Leave, I could only tolerate them for maybe 3-4 days.

MSG (Join to see) - I hear you, brother. If you read below, my relationship with my sister went from bad to intolerable. My relationship with my mother-in-law wasn't a whole lot better.

You don't get to chose family, but at some point, staying away is often the sensible thing to do.

Richard, invite your sister in law to sit down with you, maybe somewhere neutral like a coffee shop. Get something to drink/eat and say, "I would like us to have a good relationship. What can we do to make that happen?" and then listen. Don't interrupt. She will give you the answer.

Guess that depends on who's problem it is: yours or theirs?

You are trying to say that first I need to find out the problem. Then go for the solution right?
