Conflict can arise in families when family members have particular views or beliefs that clash. A common issue between family members occurs when people misunderstand each other and jump to incorrect conclusions. When conflicts in a family are not resolved respectfully, other issues can emerge and cause more distress and resentment. Disagreeing is normal and occasional conflict is part of family life, but ongoing conflict is stressful and damages families. Conflicts can involve different combinations of family members, including between the couple, between parent and child, and between siblings.
