Dealing with crises

 Family life will never be perfect. Regardless of how well you plan your life, or how successful you become, you will not be able to avoid a family crises. Crises can come from a wide variety of different places, whether it is job relocation, losing a job, medical problems that may arise, or anything else that could put a stress on the family. Crises will always come upon our families, whether we are prepared for them to come or not. As a result it is important to be prepared for crises to come, and prepared to deal with them correctly.

The family is a place that should be a refuge from the rest of the world. It is important that as different crises come to the family, that you prevent the crises from having a negative lasting impact on the nature of the family. There are often two different types of crises that occur, those that happen as a result of an internal root, or those with an external cause of the crises. An example of a crises with an internal root, is abuse within the family, while a crises with an external cause would be job loss. It is important to be able to distinguish what is the root of the crises in order to resolve it. There are often going to be things that are outside of your control, while there will be other things that are within your control. You will not be able to resolve any crises that comes to your family if you do not know why the problem exists. Identifying the root of the crises is key to ending the crises.

Another important thing that needs to happen in order to deal with any crises is to have a desire to change yourself. You will not be able to solve any crises if you do not change. If you remain the same, you cannot expect any other factors to change. You need to have an earnest desire to change in order to change. If you feel that others are the problem, and that you are doing nothing wrong, then you need to be able to humble yourself, at look inside and work on something to improve as a person.

In examples of abuse it is important to do everything that is in your power to help the situation. To help the crises, you cannot sit there and do nothing. It is important that you go and seek professional help as needed. In these situations it is important to make sure that while you try everything to stop the situation, to also make sure that you do not let yourself become a victim just to try and save the relationship. In situations in which no amount of help and patience is helping, the best thing to do may be to leave. You need to see that there is a point where things are obviously not changing, and not going to get better. 

Crises will come to every family. An important key to resolving crises is communication. It is impossible to resolve any crises if you are unable to communicate the crises with others. As the crises continues, it is key to get all involved, including your spouse and children, and discuss with them what the problem is, and ask for ideas, and ask them for help. They will be unable to help you if they do not know what you need help with. As the crises continues, it will be able to improve, if everyone knows what they can be doing to help with the crises, so that it is able to end more quickly.
