Being a woman in Gaza is extremely difficult. While developing my family genogram, it was clear that main conflicts and various forms of violence were committed by my brothers and their wives against me, for cultural reasons. In this paper, I have decided to focus on the conflicts shown in my family genogram because these conflicts impacted my life, shaped my personality and made me the person I am today. These characteristics run on both my father’s and my mother’s sides of the family. The characteristics that exist within my family that are a result of nature are Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, and Depression. The third generation includes me and my seven siblings (four sisters and three brothers) and their spouses, and in the fourth generation, I only included the number of children they have.

Order now I had a good relationship with her brother (my uncle) who passed away a few years ago, and I still have a good relationship with her sister (my aunt) who currently lives in Egypt. My mother has one older brother and one younger sister. I still have a good relationship with one, and the other one who still lives in our house has been violent towards me most of the time in the past years. My relationships with his other two sisters were different.

His brother and two of his sisters passed away, one of which was hostile to me.

My father was the oldest of one brother and four sisters. The second generation includes my parents and their siblings (my uncles and aunts from both sides). I do not recall how my relationship with them was, but my mother told me that I was close to my grandfathers and closer to my grandmothers. The first generation includes my parental and maternal grandparents who passed away when I was a little child. My family genogram includes four generations. By making this genogram, I became fully aware of the conflicts and characteristics that my family members share, which helped me learn more about myself and how I became who I am today. Developing my family genogram was extremely painful for me because it brought painful memories and experiences I had throughout the past years of my life, but at the same time, I found it a challenging way to learn more about conflicts in my family and how and why such conflicts have developed.

A genogram is an excellent way of illustrating family relationships, conflicts and intergenerational patterns and understanding family dynamics that drive and affect family members.
