A close relationship with one's mother can also lead to conflicts during stressful times like wedding planning. Acknowledging the tendency to argue over small matters is essential. A proactive approach, including open conversations about underlying issues, can enhance the relationship. Taking responsibility for one's actions during disputes is crucial in opening constructive dialogue. A clear plan for de-escalation can help navigate the challenges ahead and is vital for preserving harmony during this significant life event.
You can be proactive about this and you can make a plan for de-escalation if your prophylactic measures fail. Mother and daughter being close is a wonderful thing. Being 'prone to fighting' is not.
Fighting about 'nonsense things' is never about those things—but about whatever the nonsense stirs in us. If you hope to get through the next year without shouting matches, it's time to take the bull by the horns.
