    Why, in family disagreements is one member always the one who is disbelieved. Argument happens and one goes to another to tell their side.That side is then on the 'family grapevine'without the other being heard. Suddenly no one talks to the one who is alleged to be wrong. What is this group thinking that causes such a ganging up on one member, without hearing their side? What is this about?

    OP could you give us information as to why this is a PI affecting you or someone you know?
    At the moment it appears a general question

    From experience in my family it's generally the person who has cried wolf too many times that would get the short end of the stick. It's hard to redeem yourself sometimes in a family as they all know you your whole life and if you tended to be a big liar and exagerrator as a kid it tends to stick into adulthood.

    it affects a friend who does not get on with some members of their family. My question is what is the dynamic behind having an argument with one and being shunned by all. Yet the restof them can have arguments and while A may not talk to B, C&D will talk to B and A too and let A and B sort it out. I know people who do not talk but I do not take sides,it is between them, who am I to say who is right? And who is the family members to say my friend is always wrong and to condemn them without even hearing their side.

    To cathooo: Person is not liar/wolf crier
