The crisis affects us all ,but a very serious thing that I notice is that it affects friendship and relationship. Most people are very angry,holidays become a hard thing to overcome . People with whom I often laughing,speak now very little and are very affected. A very gloomy atmosphere. Around you is the same? I will not comment but I am here and read all responses...thank you in advance Maybe if we read about others,we get over our problems easier:)

Sweetie, any crisis in a family, relationship or friendship should be dealt with together. Solutions should always be found, before it gets out of hand. That would make everyone happier and relaxed. TATA.

Hi saphrina: I agree with you. In those moments it's easy to fight with the persons we love because there's a lot of tension on the air but we have to remember that we need to work together for our own good. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

relationship really gets affected during crisis and some people are just so naive with that. last september our city was hit by a big typhoon that flooded the whole city. my mother's house was flooded up to the roof and they were at the roof for an hour or so waiting to get rescued. luckily they were rescued by good neighbors. i can not come there to rescue for our house was badly hit as well, and because it is a flash flood the flow was very strong it is not adviceable to go out for outside the flood was over 20 feet. the river over flowed. it was a scary sceen. after that i asked helped from relatives who are living abroad and instead of them realizing that we are in crisis they all turned to blame me. my mother is half body paralyze and they were asking so many question on why i wasnt there to save my mother. it looks like for them i did nothing. yes i can not do anything for our house was flooded too, and the thing is we are the ones first hit before my mothers house. so how can i possibly go out and go to my mothers house. did blaming resolved anything? of course not but hurtful words are said already. i thought in crisis family stayed as one and give their shoulders and hands to help, well seems not everyone can do that. i am so shocked on what and how it turned out to be.

Maybe the crisis is good because now we see who truly are our friends. Good friends will support each other and try to overcome the money crisis with their friendship and goodness. In what concerns the family, it's probably normal to be more tension between members but that happens only because everyone wants the best for it's family and doesn't like discomfort in their lives...They say "money won't bring you happiness" and it's true...but it is also true that money brings less arguments inside families...

Hi cip: The financial crisis has touched almost every country and people have a lot of stress to deal with in some cases because of their work, so many people have lost their jobs, etc so I understand. In my case I'm a student so this problems didn't make my relationship with my friends harder but I know that things are not very good these days. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

Here it's the same. In my neighbourhood, people are getting more agressive, destraught, they don't speak a lot but when the start it seems that they are only able to discuss everything and to fight...I find people more depressed and anxious. Situation is getting really critical.
