Don’t make excuses for bad behavior

Call out bad behavior on the part of your family instead of excusing it. We become accustomed to the dysfunction of our families and often expect our partners to do the same, which is unfair. If your brother makes a nasty remark to your spouse, “Oh, he’s just like that” is not an acceptable response. Check your brother and apologize to your partner.
