In celebrity news, Stephanie Pratt is not a fan of celebrity couple Spencer Pratt and wife Heidi. According to People.com, Stephanie believes that “no one knows the real Heidi” and that ultimately she’s the reason for the split in the family relationship between brother and sister. Stephanie tried to save the relationship and put on a good front for the cameras because of her job obligations with her parents and just for the sake of her relationship with her parents. However, now the gloves are coming off, and Stephanie is only being honest. Stephanie claims that Heidi doesn’t want Spencer to “have a relationship with anyone but her” and because of this, Stephanie “cannot live near them, They are the most toxic people I’ve ever met.” It looks like this relationship is far from being on the mend.
In celebrity news, Stephanie Pratt doesn’t consider Spencer and Heidi family anymore. What are ways to mend your relationship with your family?

3. Use “I” statements: Rather than telling someone what they did, tell them how it affected you. Tell them how it made you feel. Don’t say “You made me unhappy,” say “I was unhappy because…” When you focus on your feelings, it makes the other person feel less defensive.
