Being able to establish and maintain good relationships is essential for our feelings of well being and happiness. Within our families and through our work and recreational activities we are all connected with other people in complex ways. The people we love, our partners, our children, our parents, siblings and extended family, our colleagues, friends and acquaintances are all affected when relationships sour.
