Communication

Prompt one for MHWA week two. Reflect on the way you communicate.
I for one hate conflict, I admit that, although having said that I am getting better at stating what I need, or at standing up for myself. It’s pretty sad that it’s taken 75 years to be able to stand up for myself!
My best way to communicate has always been through the written word. Even when my kids were early teenagers I would write them letters. These I would leave in their rooms, explaining why I reacted how I did, or what I expect from them.
I believe letters are way to go. A person can read a letter, throw it away in disgust, then later retrieve said letter and re-read, giving the sender another chance at getting through their meaning when they first wrote the letter. Words said in anger are gone, never to be retrieved, or they are misconstrued or remembered wrongly.
So that is my way of dealing with conflict and also my suggestion for others. A different way of communication..
