Twin estrangement is a really important issue that is often ignored because twin mythology suggests that all twins should get along, as their closeness creates a perfect interpersonal relationship. Raising twins is hard, and estrangement is very predictable when there is not enough focus on individual development. Believing that all twins should and will be able to get along causes shame and humiliation for twins and their parents when they don't. This is an unfortunate problem.
