Have you ever been caught in the middle, when one half of your family is feuding with the other half, and the harder you try to stay out of it the more they try to drag you into it?

for some reason I'm always elected to be the mediator...why I no longer live around my family

Unfortunately, families go through these phases. Simply state your stance and if they want to continue to bicker and fuss....inform them that they are on their own.

It's the main reason I don't visit them very often and when I do, I make it a short visit.

Yes and that is why I stay away from them and live 8 hours from them.

my girls and I have nothing to do with feud that is going on.It is so bad that when I wanted a surprise birthday party for my daughter none of her relatives would come beacause they could not stand to be in the same room with each. That really hurt!!

Yes, which is one of the reasons that I moved 300 miles away from them

Too me it is really sad when families act this way.I have lost a lot of respect for them .It is hard to deal with.
