Intergenerational relationship
---what is the biggest problem that your family has encountered….?
I guess the biggest problem that our family encountered is when I was a child that my parents always fighting because my father used to drink alcohol everyday. This problem come to the point of leaving, my parents decided to sell our house here in manila and be with my grandmother in Cavite. My 2 brothers left here in manila to Study College, and almost 1 year that we are apart with each other. We are not complete, until my father decided to go back here in manila to continue my study. My father realized that what he does is not good and he made a wrong decision. He promised that he will be a responsible father and my mother forgives him. As we go back here we are so happy and my father did his role being a good father and husband.

Family structure
---how are you going to maintain a good interaction w/ in your family ….?
Keeping in touch is one of the most important factors in maintaining a good interaction within your family. You must be aware of all the things that happen in your family and giving respect to each member was also a big help.
---is it good to have a pattern of leadership and power manifest in the family…?
Most of the time, the father served as a leader in the family. He used to make decisions, giving instructions, providing for the necessities of the family and sometimes creating a rules and regulations within the family. It is good to have a leadership, because this will be one step in giving your children a better future, but in some point, the leader should also consider the members of the family. So much manifesting of power will lead to misunderstanding and there are possibilities that there will be a quarrel in the family.

Integration of practice
---what do you think is the reason, why expertise, and attitudes as well as specific concepts are important category for family therapy practice…?
There are categories of learning that was being used, shared in the family therapist such as knowledge as well as expertise and attitude and specific concepts. It is important because it is the central to most theories of family therapy. These are the things that the therapists need to consider in solving a particular problem of the family.
Naturalistic change
---is there come in a point that your family member suddenly change in terms of interaction w/ in your family….?
We can measure the strength and weaknesses of every individual, as they are facing their problems that they may encounter. Within the family, we cannot avoid misunderstanding that may lead to the coldness of treating each member. In my family, we are facing so many obstacles but we are about to solve this easily
