Are you ready to bury the hatchet? If you are, then this is the week to do it. However you will have to be honest with yourself every step of the way. You can't extend the olive branch with one hand and then start jabbing your finger into the other person's chest with the other. The time for explaining your position, airing grievances and revisiting points of contention is over. Either you're sorry for your part in a falling out or you're not. This isn't about who's right and who's wrong. It's about forging a truce and moving on.

It's frustrating not to have the answers for a loved one's troubles. You'd love to tell this person that things will get better or at least outline the steps they can take to get their life back on track but you know it won't work. They're going through a long and protracted journey that only they can make. Be their Rock of Gibraltar, their go-to pillar of support. It's an invaluable and necessary role. But also remember to look after your own concerns. You're only human, after all, and you need to take care of yourself as well.
