Do you have a favorite child? Maybe you think you don't but there are things you do or say that show something different.
Today we delve into the much overlooked topic of sibling relationships. We speak with Fern Schumer Chapman author o the book Brothers, Sisters, Strangers. Siblings are the longest relationship we will have in our lives - and our children's. They share our history our family and our story. Chapman shares her personal life story that led her to write this book.
We talk about sibling rejection and how that can lead to feelings of self-blame, questioning one's worth, and a sense of loss. Individuals may constantly ruminate on what went wrong and how they can mend the relationship, leading to a significant emotional toll. This ongoing emotional pain can be likened to a persistent toothache or a wound that refuses to heal.
Chapman shares risk factors that may cause sibling rifts and what our role as parents we play. By acknowledging these risk factors and perilous turning points, research provides valuable insights into the complexities of sibling relationships. Understanding these factors can help individuals navigate and potentially reconcile with estranged siblings.

We also identify when it is safer for siblings to separate and why.

There is no question that sibling relationships serve as a blueprint for future relationships with friends, colleagues, and romantic partners. The qualities of tolerance, generosity, and loyalty instilled by siblings can influence how individuals navigate social interactions throughout their lives. This episode helps us understand it all.
