			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have had a realy hectic weekend. There has been big family drama and I&#8217;m just not equipped to handle such things. I hate drama! Seriously, I just cannot stand it. I don&#8217;t want to be a part of it and I don&#8217;t want it around me.</p>
<p>So when a bit of it started to unfold this weekend I retreated to my side of the house and got to organizing for the start of school tomorrow.</p>
<p>Long story short, one person is irritated with another because they feel as though the other is talking crap about them and not being &#8220;a grown up.&#8221; Other person is irritated with the one person because he acts as though he is &#8220;better than everyone else.&#8221; It&#8217;s been going on for years but things finally came to a head yesterday when one wasn&#8217;t invited to the other&#8217;s son&#8217;s baby shower. One wasn&#8217;t invited even though it was a &#8220;family gathering.&#8221;</p>
<p>As I said before I am just not equipped to handle this kind of nonsense. I shut down and close everything out. Why deal with BS when you don&#8217;t have to? It&#8217;s not like I can fix the situation. My days of &#8220;fixing&#8221; issues between people is LONG gone. I know it never works and always makes more drama than there was to begin with.</p>
<p>So here is my question for you</p>
<p>How do you handle family drama without causing more?</p>
