The Sibling Wound

The Wound of Rivalry, Favouritism, and Comparison Between Siblings, and the Own Place Method for Living Your Own Life, Unshadowed

There is a wound that forms in what is often the longest relationship of a person’s life, the relationship with a brother or sister, and because siblings are supposed to be companions and allies, this wound is often unspoken, unrecognised, and carried in a particular kind of loneliness.
