Screaming in the family?
Apparently, yelling at each other is normal in my family. And that's how I grew up, constantly being yelled at, so I developed a habit of it later on.
But I have to say that at some point as an adult I realized that it can't be right that we're constantly shouting at each other, can it?
I don't live with my parents anymore, but my brother still lives with my parents, and he's always yelling at my parents, and they yell back.
Does that really have to happen? I don't really yell at others anymore because I've seen how wrong it is.
Why do they think it's normal to shout at each other?

It is very difficult within the family to change something if parents themselves are the starting point of the problem. You can’t choose your parents, and I wouldn’t trust the authority to suggest factual solutions, because they might feel attacked, and there will be an increase in respectless behavior!
There are books on non-violent communication. You couldsimplyput on the table. Maybe they take note.
I can’t give you a proper answer. But I would definitely say that only all those involved can work together because nobody is innocent. One provokes the other can be provoked. At some point, the inhibition threshold drops and the basic tension rises so that new points of dispute escalate faster and faster with time. Unfortunately, as I said, one can only do something about tearing each other on the belt and trying to find a sensible communication.
