Personal Narrative-Solving In My Family

situations but I can say that within just the family we all partake in being passive aggressive, but defiantly not to the extreme. My family makes a lot of jokes, and we joke with one another and understand that it is funny, but sometimes these jokes can be masked with sarcasm or be passive aggressive about certain things. Something else that I have noticed is that we all also have a blaming type of communication. If something happens, we want to know who is responsible. I find it fascinating who all members of a family can share communication styles but then also express them differently and also have other communication styles that play along. This serves to show that each member of a family is influenced in some way or another by their family

If there is a problem, we tend to just distance ourselves from it in the hope that the problem will go away or solve itself. A second way that I would say that we problem solve is by just dealing with the problem or situation as it comes. This then can be easily tied to avoidance because we avoid the problem for as long as possible until we absolutely need to deal with the situation.
God has provided each and every one of us with a family. That family shapes us and gives us insight into why we are the way we are. A Bible passage that provided wisdom to me in the area of my family of origin is “We love because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19). This passage has provided me wisdom because there should always be love. God loves us immensely, and we should always follow in His footsteps. Another Bible passage that provides me with guidance about my gender formation is Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7, New International
