Adjourning Phase
Considering the adjourning phase and the groups that I've been involved in, there were some groups that were harder to leave than others.
If we label the 5 Steps of team development, each one of them has very important structural values. All successful group developments have considerable talents in each step.
There was a specific group that I was involved in when I was stationed in Fort Lee, Virginia. My job at the time was well informed on all instructions on the job. We worked well together, our chemistry was there, and personalities were all there as well. The best part was being able to get as much done as we did, and also have a great time doing it.
If I compare the group that I was involved in then and now, the comparisons are nonexistent. There are specifics that go into group dynamics and individuality is definitely one of them.

Communication Disagreements
There have been recent communication disagreements with my 2 daughters.
Having disagreements with family is obviously more personal than with a co-worker, but they're also harder to work through. My oldest daughter wants to move to Florida and start a new life down there, but she has no actual plan and no roadmap for her to get down there and succeed; she wants to just go and be there to live everything out like she's been planning. My second eldest daughter is having a serious lack of motivation to go back to school and she always thinks I'm attacking her when I ask her what her plans for the future are.
Beginning with my eldest; I just want her to go down there and succeed like she wants. I have no doubt she will be able to, but I also don't want her to think that this is all going to be easy, because it's not going to be. She understands the consequences, but I can't seem to make it clear to her that I'm just being overprotective rather than overbearing.
My second eldest and I always seem to butt heads, and I'm sure it's because of the personality differences. She always thinks I'm attacking her, but in reality, I'm just trying to figure out where she's heading so she doesn't get stuck like I did. I want her to be successful and I want the very best for her. I want her to understand the consequences of her waiting too long to go to school, but I think she wants to be young and live her life and not have to worry about the consequences; which I understand. It's just hard to reason with, coming from a parent's point of view.
