Things have been difficult this past year between some extended family members. The people involved finally agreed to go to therapy in recent months. However, it simply isn't working. Without getting into specifics, there are basically two sides to the situation, with multiple people on each side. One side has admitted to their role in creating this strained relationship. I am on that side. The other side continues to insist that they've done nothing wrong and are simply the victims in the situation.
I am so angry, frustrated and sad. Every attempt we have made to get the other people involved to understand that there are issues on BOTH sides, has been met by resistance. I am ready to throw in the towel and sever all relations with the other people involved. So many accusations and harsh words have been thrown back and forth, and I'm ready to be done with it. I'm sick and tired of being told I am wrong about EVERYTHING which is absolutely not true.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Have you had to disown relationships with any extended family members? I just worry how it will impact the rest of the family, when they've done nothing wrong. Any insight or advice would be very much appreciated.
