Hi Phil!
Welcome to Bring4th!
I know what it's like to live in a house full of drama. I grew up in a home with intense drama all the time! And now, as we near the Harvest, people's issues are rising to the surface, where they are mirroring to one another those suppressed or unexpressed aspects of their natures.
Choosing to not get involved in their drama might indeed appear 'aloof' to the person having the drama, but I found that to be an effective course of action in many cases. Although I might have seemed 'aloof' on the surface, inside I was far from aloof; rather than allow my own emotions to escalate and thus add to the dynamic, remaining calm on the outside while actively choosing love/forgiveness/peace/harmony on the inside gave me something to focus on while the sparks were flying.
While in the midst of an emotional upheaval it's often difficult to remember, but choosing to find the love in the present moment is a powerful thing!
I hope that you're able to find some resolution with your current situation! In the meantime, I invite you to get to know us here at Bring4th! We have a very caring community so you are definitely not alone!
