Communicate honestly

Talk about your feelings in an open, constructive manner during family meetings and informal conversations. If you're angry or stressed, say so.

Express your feelings without blaming or shaming anyone else by using "I" statements. For example, you might say, "I'm feeling overwhelmed with juggling my own schedule and dad's appointments," rather than, "You don't understand what it's like to manage dad's schedule."

Listen to other family members feelings too.
