Currently my father is ill due to dementia. He is quite elderly, but the effect of his illness is bringing the family together more often. Underneath I don't really get along with my family because I think they have always played psychologically rough and can be quite mean. However, when we come together I feel like we all have to keep the peace and as much as I want to be there for my father, inside I just feel angry and want to leave. I guess I wanted to reach out and ask if anyone else knows how painful it can feel having to deal with family when their is powerful underlying conflict...
