Sibling rivalry is an unfortunate fact of life in many families. It can contribute to estrangement from parents as well.

There are two situations where this is especially true, which Tina addresses in this informative episode.

One is when your estranged adult child accuses you of playing favorites, either in childhood or on a continuing basis, thereby promoting sibling rivalry.

Another is when two or more of your adult children aren’t getting along with each other.

Often this type of conflict is due to, or exacerbated by, the estrangement of one sibling from parents and possibly other family members.

In this episode, Tina makes suggestions about how to handle each of the above scenarios. You as the parent have more power than you might think in both cases.
