[usr] My father and brother are in a serious conflict with each other right now, as my father has complained about the way my brother raises his son. Obviously it's a really stressful, tenuous situation and I have no idea who's side to take, and I'm worried it will lead to them not wanting to keep in touch anymore. [sys] Family conflict is always hard.  Maybe you don't need to take a side and try to work for peace. [usr] Yeah, you're right. It's kind of complicated, but I definitely shouldn't try to pick sides. I just want everyone to get along, but it's not that simple. It's like I can't figure out if I try to make peace, whether that will make things more complicated or not, and whether I should just stay out of it. Time will tell. [qst] [None] [bhv] [None]
