Family Crisis

After reading the readings for Tuesday and Thursday I began to think about many depressing situations. One thing that really came to mind is abuse and how much it affects the whole entire family. I know of some families who have suffered from it and the scars are almost impossible to heal. One thing that I have learned to focus on is how amazing it is to see a family come out of those crisis and be closer than ever. It is so encouraging when families can work through their problems and really learn how to live a happy and healthy life. The readings talked about a range of different things that can be extremely hard for families to deal with and some end up completely braking apart. I am really interested in learning more about healthy ways for families to cope in times of economic, abuse, crisis, etc. These are things that many people do not think will happen to them and when it does they do not know what to do. I want to be equipped for the future so if my family does go through some sort of a crisis, I will be ready to deal with that in a healthy way.
