Caught in the Middle: Why I Don’t Interfere in Loved Ones' Disagreements Anymore

A personal reflection on staying neutral during loved ones' conflicts — and the lesson it taught me.

Intro

Okay… I think when I started blogging, I’ve started noticing the things I go through each week.

Because before blogging, no matter what I had gone through — I really could not recall it. 0_0 hehehe

So, it is one of the advantages of blogging, I guess. (Cause no matter whoever said it — I wouldn’t believe it. But when doing it — it makes sense).

Let me dive in — into this blog post’s topic! Which is something that happened in my life in the last two weeks. That’s why I mentioned blogging helps me remember when things happen.

Thus, the topic is:

Do not interfere or take sides when two individuals you love have a fight or misunderstanding.

Main Points

I won’t spill all the details, since it’s not my matter — and I didn’t ask their permission to talk about it. But it was something between a loving father and a loving daughter. Both of them are amazing.

But one of them wanted a certain life decision, and the other couldn’t bear it — since it wasn’t something they were satisfied with.

And I took the side of one of them — maybe because I wanted to fix something that happened in the past. Yet… it was the present moment!

Also, I took the side immediately, without really listening to the other side.

Plus — things really escalated, my fears and anger got me blind.

  • I stopped sleeping, eating well, and thinking while sleeping! I say this because I remember sleeping on the same thought and waking up on it.
  • Even worse — I couldn’t do my daily tasks or at least live the way I want to.

Conclusion

I’ve learned a lot from this life lesson. Not because I was a brilliant, wise thinker. No!

Yeah, I felt that something wasn’t working — and I had a person who really was there and gave me the real talk that even shut me up.

So, having a person in your life — family member or friend — who can bring you back to your senses and logical mind? It’s a blessing.

To end this blog here, I’ll just say: I’ve learned the lesson and dis-attached myself from other people’s life experiences.

Just take it easy.
