Siblings

 

Our markings are interesting, our colours are more so

Our status of siblings also keeps you in the know

Siblings can be interesting individuals  – some going through life seeing eye to eye, and others  going through life constantly at each other’s throats.  They say that you only hurt the one you love the most but I wonder at the wisdom of that saying sometimes.  As children we could be our worst enemies – I know I was to my sister which I regret so terribly in my later life – not knowing any better and being brought up with cruelty and hatred from a new stepmother inflicted upon us both at all hours of the day and night and more recently being constantly reminded by my sister – “we were only babies  – we didn’t know any better.”

They say the older you get, you grow closer to your siblings – well in my case, I am still waiting to find that inner peace and connection.  We all live hundreds of miles apart – and silence is usually a friend I guess.

• “poor sibling relationships in childhood could be a predictor of depression in adulthood.”
  how sad but how very true in many cases.

Even the Chinese children brought up in a 1 child family enforced upon them by those in authority over them are now being found as to be less able to endure competition in their lives; they are less likely to trust or be found to be trustworthy themselves, and most certainly are not keen risk takers.

We did have an older sister who was stillborn and I often think about what life might have been like had we had her in our moments of trial.  What wisdom would she have been able to teach us?  And had we had an older brother – would we have learned to accept men in our lives better.

It is always interesting to ponder upon things out of our control and now way back in the past but then I guess that is just how Life Happens.
