It is not enough to make noise, it must be to make a difference. There is plenty of rhetoric, but how much more meaningful to hear those ringing with possibility and positive change over the blustering and echo of empty words.

Keep going and look for the humor. As long as we are able to find something to smile about, however quirky, like us, we can rise to any occasion with an untapped inner strength.

Relationships are very important to me and family is a priority in this lifetime. Reaching out to love, yet respect differences, and accept accountability yet moving forward instead of attacking the past, is the best that a rational and emotionally mature person can prefer.
Some love confrontation or nurturing their anger; It is not helpful to strengthening or maintaining any healthy communication and reinforces the hurt dysfunction. The dynamics don’t improve and the wounds persist.
The largest act of rebellion is working to change the context in a messy and complicated situation to one of self-preservation and fighting as hard, for yourself, as you have for others. It is not easy for one who cares so deeply and, certainly, I have been an easy and satisfying target for verbal attack.
Trying to shift a mindset and ingrained habit of behavior is very difficult. Many of us have prescribed roles and distinctions of thinking, reinforced by others, that we are supposed to save everyone and fix every situation, or we are at fault.
Mature relationships take both sides willing to accept that we can love one another while still disagreeing. Respecting each individual, instead of trying to continue to wound with past patterns of negativity, is the only healthy way to move forward. Growth and self-esteem take time, but self-respect and willingness to walk away from someone else’s anger, as hard as it is to do, is the only way to take the first step.
