Here are thirteen things that can cause a rift (or the disagreement as to these topics can cause a rift---usually there are other deeper underlying issues that have come to play):
- Sexual orientation (ie homosexual or heterosexual).
- Race of friends or spouse, if you family is racist.
- Money, as in one owes the other money.
- Inheritance squabbles.
- One family member no longer wants to be controlled by another or "dance to their tune".
- Differences or conflicts in religious beliefs.
- The dramas that happen during a divorce.
- One's spouse is not welcomed in or is not approved of.
- Abandonment of a family member (usually a parent leaving the family).
- Not recognizing children or parents as individual people, but belongings instead.
- Unforgiven memories of physical, verbal, or sexual abuse.
- Strong political opinions that differ.
- Jealousies of status.
***The picture above represents the reason for my split from the monster and S Donor. They felt they had the right to sell MY house. They argued about this during the time my mother in law was dying. I am not putting up with it any more. For two years now since last October, as a matter of fact.

In reading another's blog, there was one that I totally missed. Not conforming to the morales of others, which could include having a child and not being married to the other being, whether you are together as a family unit or not!!!! I sometimes forget that some people are very behind in tolerance or acceptance of differing lifestyles to that degree.
