How to Deal with Toxic Family Members? ―Share if You Care!




“The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.” —Dalai Lama


Conflicts in families are quite common. The property disputes in families are quite complicated to resolve. In this post, I will discuss resolving family conflicts and property disputes amicably.


Resolve Conflicts Amicably

“I never yet saw an instance of one of two disputants convincing the other by argument.” ―Thomas Jefferson

Conflicts appear to be complex but they are easy if you understand, analyze and address them with an open mind. Before undertaking them identify the best and the worst outcome. When you calculate this, you don’t end up with disappointment as you have already prepared for the worst. If you get the best, you exit with excitement. Ensure that the outcome is win-win where all stakeholders are happy. Here are some steps to resolve conflicts amicably. Understand the issue at the root level. Analyze and explore to offer simple with viable solutions. Communicate clearly with the stakeholders with the pros and cons about the conflict. Attack the issue, not the individuals. Avoid arguments and personal attacks. Offer an honorable exit to the litigant. Offer possibilities to resolve them amicably. Choose the best solution and adopt them.

While handling property disputes with your family members, invite family elders to intervene and resolve them peacefully. Explore resolving the dispute through out-of-court settlement as the legal process takes a long time. If all options are closed, approach the court to resolve it legally.  

Conflicts offer creative solutions when viewed with a fresh lens. Several issues have been resolved through discussion and dialogue. 


Life is a Dialogue

“The old problems - love, money, security, status, health, etc. - are still here to plague us or please us.” —Shelley Berman

Keep what is the best and the worst outcome before you approach the conflicts. Identify whether you are ready to pay the price before entering into a conflict. Avoid if you cannot pay the price and the outcome is negligible. To conclude, everything is possible in the world when people come together to resolve the conflicts with an open mind.


“If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.” —George Bernard Shaw
