Family Crises happen to every family. Some families experience more severe crises than others, such as death of a parent/spouse or death of a child, abuse of any sort, challenged children and so on. These all cause stress on the family and they must learn to cope with this effectively. This week we mostly stayed on the topic of abuse. As hard as it is to discuss, it is very important for people to understand so they know how to help others cope. Abuse is more than just physically hurting someone, it is damaging their soul. The one being abused feels like they are worth nothing and they have to feel this way. This is NEVER the case. It was really sad to learn that abused people date creeps to make sense of the violent acts that were taken on them when they were younger. Personally, I feel like abuse should never take place but I know people in my life that have been abused and they have made a good experience out of it. They see it is wrong and want to make their life and the lives of their children wonderful so their children never have to go through what they went through.
Crises actually make relationships stronger. Those involved learn to pull together and figure out how to get through the problem together. However, this is not always the case, some people pull apart and turn to drugs or alcohol to ease their burden, this only makes things worse. Learning to work as a team is extremely beneficial in these circumstances.
This is just an interesting fact, our need for human interaction is greater than our need for food and water.
