It is rare to hear someone describe conflict in a positive way; for example, saying \u201cOur family just went through a positive conflict to reach a new, improved level of trust with one another.\u201d However, conflicts can be defused and even resolved. De-escalation is an effort to reduce the severity of a conflict.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Saying \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d is just the beginning. The complete process involves the other person offering forgiveness or us extending forgiveness if we are the ones receiving the apology. Forgiveness is the conscious and deliberate decision to release resentment or anger, but does not necessarily mean reconciliation. The person who forgives is not required to return to the same pattern of relationship or accept the same harmful behaviors from another.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#AGLEGACY #FarmSuccession #EstatePlanning Conflict is a fact of family life.
