Family can offer belonging and support, while also carrying demands that are difficult to discuss. Roles learned early may persist long after circumstances change: who keeps the peace, who needs care and whose wishes are expected to come last.
Here we examine parenting, relationships between generations, caregiving and family disagreements. These reflections consider affection alongside responsibility and boundaries, leaving room for different family arrangements and for the fact that sharing a history does not make every expectation reasonable.
