Relationship Basics: Adult Sibling Rivalry

Have you been the sibling initiating action to maintain family bonds?  Is your relationship with your adult siblings tenuous or  leave you emotionally drained, or stressed out when you're around them?  In this episode  we'll look at the possible cause for messy and toxic  relationship with siblings and offer a solution that can empower you to finally put your foot down and throw in the towel in a peaceful and loving way, if that is your desire. According to an article on Psychology today website, written by Jane Mersky Leder, the new view holds that conflict is not the natural state of sibling relationships, still for a third of us, discord sown early in childhood endures for a lifetime.   Even when parents do their best at loving and respecting all of their children, the influence of siblings on one another can be enormous.  The article states that a study showed that the participants don't get along with their sibling or have little in common,  spend limited time together, and use words to describe their childhood like "competitive" "humiliating" and "hurtful." While  few adult siblings have severed their ties completely, approximately on-third describe their relationship as rivalrous or distant.  Tune in to learn how you can liberate yourself from the toxic dynamic of the family group you were born into. #family #toxicrelationships #siblingrivarly #gsorfhk
