Today she is professional, but there is a real air of annoyance. It won't take much to really make her mad, so watch it.

301--Family Unit Continues

OK, gang, here's the deal. Today we're talking about family again, both blood and created. I want to talk about both functional and dysfunctional.

[She purses her lips together and leans forward on her lectern]

How do we communicate our feelings? Not love, not nurture, not caring...How do we as people access and communicate the real feelings of family? Possesivness? Defense? A huge part of family is feelings of ownership and belonging. How do we communicate this, and what happens when it's interrupted?

Go. Talk to me.

"Yes, Miss, I'll try to remember that." Brow still wrinkled wow she's gonna need botox someday, D'anna cocked her head to the side. "So, inattention is the first sign that there's been a breakdown in communication, thus signaling dysfunction in the unit as a whole?" She asked, sincerely curious.

Inattention and taking others for granted is...well, it's only my opinion, but yes. Those are big contributers to dysfunction. They devalue the person and the relationship...often to the breaking point.

D'anna nods thoughtfully, jots something down in her notebook, then gives CJ a small smile. "Thank you, Miss."
