The tensions that come with family can be both complex and complicated. We sometimes support each other, and at times, we compete. And there are so many different ways to understand the thoughts and motivations of parents and grandparents, our children, our siblings, our cousins, our aunts, and our uncles. We can be furious at them or feel very loving toward them, and sometimes we feel both at once.
How do we wind our way through this maze, and what counts as "successful"? Who would you choose if you had a magic wand that put you into the mind/heart of someone in your family? Who would you choose to give the wand to in order for them to understand you?
