Dear Mr. Narrator,

You really are having a hard time with your family, dont you? It is just normal my friend. I will try to explain to you why things like this happen.

Let us talk first about your mother. I would agree, it’s really annoying when someone like your mom treats you like a child, but then again, do not forget that you are not always home.Perhaps, she just misses you badly. Anyways, you were surprised when she told you that you have just hurt her feelings though you haven’t said anything. My friend, as what Watzlawick’s Interactional View had stated, one cannot not communicate. You might not say a word but your actions,body language, and facial expression talk a lot. Do you get what i mean?, even in silence you are actually communicating. Your mother might noticed something different, like the way you act whenever shes around, you know, maybe that’s what upsets her.

With regard to your sister’s attitude towards you, i would say, just don’t mind her if she wont stop hating you.She might just be jealous at the first place because you are more loved by your parents. But you know what, the relationship you and your sister have depends on how the two of you punctuate the communication sequence. You don’t like her, and she doesn’t like you too. Every time you see each other, you just can’t help but change your mood. The time you will be talking with each other and both of you are having a bad mood, the two of you might received the wrong message and/or misinterpret it.This causes your misunderstandings, i guess. You know this is normal in a brother-sister relationship, but it must be worked out. One of you must be patient and understand the other one.

Just stay focus and be calm my friend. They are still your family. Resolve things step by step, and you will get through this soon.
