I don’t understand my family. One moment my aunt talks good about me, but behind my back, she is talking bad about me. It hurts and I don’t know what to do.

Dear SammieGirl12,
Your first step should be to talk to your parents about this concern. Do they know how you are feeling? Your parents may know more about what is going on with your aunt. They can guide your communications and even help you to address the issue with your aunt. That said, it is most certainly in your right to tell her that she has hurt your feelings, but sadly, we can’t control what other people do and what they say about us. But you can be honest and express your feelings. Tell her that you are confused by what you have heard. An open and honest conversation is sometimes all that is needed.
Blessings,
—Miss C
