some going through life seeing eye to eye, and others\u00a0 going through life constantly at each other\u2019s throats.\u00a0 They say that you only hurt the one you love the most but I wonder at the wisdom of that saying sometimes.\u00a0 As children we could be our worst enemies \u2013 I know I was to my sister which I regret so terribly in my later life \u2013 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 \u2013 \u201cwe were only babies\u00a0 &#8211; we didn\u2019t know any better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They say the older you get, you grow closer to your siblings \u2013 well in my case, I am still waiting to find that inner peace and connection.\u00a0 We all live hundreds of miles apart \u2013 and silence is usually a friend I guess.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cpoor sibling relationships in childhood could be a predictor of depression in adulthood.\u201d<br \/>\nhow sad but how very true in many cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.\u00a0 What wisdom would she have been able to teach us?\u00a0 And had we had an older brother \u2013 would we have learned to accept men in our lives better.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading my blog.<br \/>\nPlease comment below and share my link.<\/p>\n<p>Debbie Nicholson<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/siblings.m4a\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for your Audio link to this blog<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=DG9G3A3M6HCPW\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/images\/life-happens-volume-1-3d.png\" alt=\"Life Happens Volume 1\" width=\"150\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Life Happens Volume 1 A Collection of Funny Emails and Facebook Messages Dating From The 1980s To 2012<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our favourite links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/debbie-nicholson\/werenotsafeyet\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/debbie-nicholson\/werenotsafeyet\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mic.com\/articles\/105202\/6-reasons-to-hug-your-siblings-this-thanksgiving#.80B0Sqf2l\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/mic.com\/articles\/105202\/6-reasons-to-hug-your-siblings-this-thanksgiving#.80B0Sqf2l<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=5QMBK9P5UQCEC\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-174 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/506-694-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Amis de Chat\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">New Product Launch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Siblings &nbsp;
