Some of my family members don't speak to other ones. How can I navigate this if I'm on good terms with both parties?

Make allowed times for both; a schedule. If it is your parents, spend half of the week with one and the other half with the second. If it is aunt's, uncles, grandparents, cousins ect. That want you to spend holidays with them, go every other holiday or year; spend thanksgiving with your mother's side then Christmas with your father's, or thanksgiving with your mother's one year and your father's next.

Be yourself and take everything easy and slowly. Act normally and don't allow yourself to be overwhelmed by this situation and if someone questions you simply say there is no issue between you and that member. Remember to stay respectful with every member. Keep conversations neutral, light-hearted, and about the family member you're currently with. When there is tension in a group of people, it can be difficult to navigation those relationships. The first thing to understand is that you cannot control the people whom the tension is between; you must respect their feelings just as much as you would want them to respect yours, this means not trying to intefere with their decision.

That's a difficult situation. I also have been in a similar situation myself. I suggest it's better to listen to all their feelings and words. The best solution will come to you automatically. You yourself are best one to find the solution. Try to understand each others problems and feeling. Make them feel you are always with them. It may be difficult but when the root cause is found out it would be easy. Be empathetic and help them relieve their anxiety, stress, misconception etc. You can always get my service if you want. Thankyou for choosing 7cups. It's the best place to find solutions for your problems.
