RE: Whose Mother is This? Brothers and Sisters. Part 2

in #psychology6 years ago

That was me! The dethroned child.

23 months old than my brother, and with only one parent in the house, I realise that playing 2nd fiddle did not go down well for me.

The tricks employed by my brother sound similar though, the youngest and not to blame for starting any brawls we had - this lasting into our teens and only really ending when I left for university.

Sharing a room and not having another parent to provide comfort probably didn't help, it's taken many years for us to forgive and forget how mean we were at times to each other!

Thanks for going further into this topic, I look forward to more 😊

I so much relate to this. We still argue sometimes about who was right or wrong in a certain situation from the past.
There is no other relationship like the siblings' relationship. Love and hate, rivalry and fellowship, unconditional support and judgment - all these in a single relationship. You never know what is coming next with your brothers and sisters, even though you are already an adult :)

Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I hope you will find interesting my next post on the topic :) See you!

Yes for sure, it's a unique mix and easy to go between wanting to strangle each other to enjoying some of the best times together. That's still the case here!

My pleasure, thank you for the interesting post, I'll hopefully spot the next in the series :)
