This week in Family Relations we watched students in the classroom act out a counseling session with an intimidating father, a worried mother, and a daughter who had been out all night. The daughter and father didn't want to speak to eachother and the mother was pacing back and forth trying to comfort both the daughter and the father. This reminded me of times when I was angry with my dad only realizing later that my dad was only showing he cared for me. I  was frequently putting my mom in that position where she would cover for me or defend me to my father. This caused contention between all three of us, especially my parents who shouldn't have to put their daugter in between them.
