Our earliest experiences of family shape us more deeply than we often realise. Our families are where we learned about relationships, and whether we grew up with siblings or without them, we each carry quiet stories about belonging, comparison, responsibility, closeness, rivalry, or loneliness from these foundational early years, especially from the often overlooked area of sibling relationships. These stories don’t disappear when we become adults and it can be surprising how often they are still alive in how we view our place in the world today.
