Cultivating Strong Sibling Bonds

Guest host Monica Hinderer is joined by her brother Fr. Joe Hinderer to discuss the importance of sibling relationships in childhood and beyond.   Listener questions and comments: Mary - I long for closer relationships with my siblings and it has caused me tremendous suffering. They don't know how to reciprocate. (15:36) Julie - Sometimes with boys there is a violent transition from closely bonded brothers to separated adults and I am wondering if you have a comment on this. (23:54) Haley - How do I balance responding to a prodigal sibling situation. If and when they come back, how do I forgive them? (29:02) Jo - You said that healthy relationships with siblings will help you. What about kids who have no siblings? What can we do to help with that? (35:11) Dana - I have two older sisters, and they don't talk to me because I voted for Trump. What should I do? (43:01)
