you assume everyone’s family would respond to communication in a healthy way. some ppl are just toxic and it’s just easier keeping your mouth shut then starting a fight just cause they can’t accept that they have poor behavior. personally my family would get mad say i’m being dramatic and then treat me weird for weeks until someone new “pisses them off” by standing up.
Every time I tried having a conversation about what was making me upset I ended up crying because of how much they humiliated me, complaining about everything they could think about me, instead of listening to me. I realized that if I continued trying it would get to a point where I want to cut them off, so no, they won’t understand. Sometimes being quiet is what is necessary to still have a family. Idk if this is worth it tho, maybe I should give up on family
