The communication process is used in every kind of relationship. It could be in a friendship, an acquantance, a significant other, a family, and many more.

I know in particular, with my stepsister, that I can not achieve the level of sharing my feelings any time soon. I believe that we both messed up and went against the guidelines for appropriate self-disclosure because we opened up too much, too fast without having full trust or knowing that it would be reciprocated.

On the other hand I have a wonderful relationship with my father. He and I express our thoughts an feelings openly about everything. It wasnt always so open though. Like most men, my dad had trouble disclosing his feelings. Fortunately, he and I overcame that obstacle together, because I wasnt good at it either.
It took a lot of time and effort to get our relationship to where it is today but it was worth it. The communication process is not yet perfected in my stepfamily but then again is it perfected with any relationship Whos to say if it is or isnt, as long as it works for the individual. I hope one day that everyone in my stepfamily will be able to reach the point where we can disclose ourselves to each other.
