Sibling Estrangement Is Seldom an Impulsive Decision

Sibling relationships are usually the ones that last the longest of any relationships in our lives. In many families, siblings enter each other’s lives before memory fully develops; they often remain throughout older adulthood; and we share a family history that others might not understand (Gilligan et al., 2020). Siblings know our strengths and weaknesses, and that can be a boon or a burden as we mature.
