Lingering Family Feuds

Is it possible to let it go?

The older I get, the more people I meet, the more I discover, there are a whole lotta people out there dealing with weird family shit. There are grudges and feuds brewing, bubbling and lingering all over the place. Some of those are raging fires that have torn families apart, some of them are just unsettling vibes that bring a weird air to the family BBQ.

There is one such feud within my own family. My mother has a sister, ten years older than her and they haven’t spoken since before I was born. They’re about 50 years into this grudge. I have never met this woman. I have a couple of cousins who I wouldn’t know if I walked passed them in the street. And my mother doesn’t really know what the feud is even all about.
