Stress
How to deal with stress in the family:
We have what we like to call a "crisis" in the family. Some type of catastrophe has happened in the home or with the family and it seems like the world is going to end. Not the case, at all. We take different steps to cure the issue, but then in the process of this "cure" we find another crisis that happens. THIS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL! We must remember when this happens, we can't give up. It's all part of the model of crisis. We like to call it the ABCX Model
