4 reasons siblings may sever ties in adulthood—and why fixing such a relationship can be so difficult
Sibling estrangement can have childhood roots but it is most often set in motion by adult child/parent estrangement.
Bullying by a sibling is neither uncommon nor rare but it is often overlooked or ignored by parents as part of normal sibling interactions.
“When I decided I had to estrange from my mother and, as a consequence of that choice, my father stopped talking to me, both my sister and brother sided with my parents and immediately stopped communicating. They denied my version of events—that my mother had scapegoated me for years and continued to verbally abuse me and then my children when I became an adult—and did what they could to spread rumors about me in my hometown.
It’s also possible for siblings—especially if the age difference between them is significant—to have very different experiences within the same family; sometimes, this is a function of parental treatment—one child is favored and the other isn’t—or a reflection of significant differences in siblings’ age and where the family unit finds itself .
A study of sibling estrangement conducted by Lucy Blake and others published in 2022 appears to confirm my observations, since the authors write: “That estrangement from a parent can lead to subsequent estrangement from a sibling is just one example of the ripple effect that estrangement can have on people’s lives and relationships.
