Is there really a guideline in having harmonious family relations?

Hi fellow Lotters! I have here a new topic and discussion. I found this via the internet and it got me curious. In the picture was some patterns in some families that is always present to some and is not noticed as a sign of family dysfunction.
I admit that some situations listed here was happening and is still happening with my family and we thought its just normal for families.
With my family , sometimes if there is an existing issue sometimes we dont talk about it. No one wants to air their side or if someone wants to speak up, its always rejected and they would say that there are more important things to look up than that issue and as a result for saying that , a family member will just stop talking about his/her side and be quiet about it.
It happened to me many times and thats why Im a little aloof because I know nobody cares hahaha..the person who always did that to me is my mom .Before when I was a little young I use to cry in anger and frustration because it felt like no one is listening.But as I grow older it has come to me that in life sometimes problems doesnt need to be addressed immediately , we have to stay calm so that we can think .Everything has his own time and pace . Patience and understanding is a must.
My question to Lotters, does any of the situations listed or enumerated in the picture happened to you and your family? If its a little personal its okay if you are not ready to share , I understand. But if it happened to you , how did you manage??

When you know something happened and no one is talking about how to resolve it is really frustrating but there are reasons we dont know why they are silent and we must understand ...

@iKONICNoona i used to ask but was faced by repeated walls and people saying in conclusion they don't know how to communicate. For first thing, they could try but the best thing is maybe putting some distance and going with your everyday life.

Staying silent and need of walking in a eggshell are most annoyed one for me

I understand how that feels, its frustrating that you know something is not right and yet no.one is talking about its solution to prevent it from happening again .

Our household has never been harmonious!
I've just stopped doing the washing up because I'm fed up of the pressure and stress, fed up of being treated like a slave, and fed up of being taken for granted!

@iKONICNoona Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. I feel relieved not to have to do the washing up. It's a weight off my mind!
