Siblings, (Part 1)
from ’wiched generation · host Julie Viola
Siblings and caregiving—it’s complicated. In this episode, I unpack the emotional terrain of caring for a parent alongside, or in tension with, a sibling. Sparked by the Netflix series Sirens, we explore how family roles, old rivalries, and uneven expectations show up when a parent’s health declines. I share my own story navigating sibling estrangement, chasing connection, and ultimately choosing to focus on what I could control. From financial friction to emotional divides, this episode holds space for the messy middle so many caregivers find themselves in—and offers a few takeaways for surviving it with clarity, empathy, and grace.
