THE GOLDEN CHILD
Growing up, I always thought that my sister was the golden child. She was smart, beautiful and most cared for by everyone. While I was the complete opposite; I was shy, timid and I felt like I was living in her shadow.
I couldn't help it or hide the way I felt for her and our relationship turned to nothing but hate and quarrels. It got to the point that we fought each other; it wasn't the usual fight siblings do, this was much intense. For days we couldn't look at each other without hate and jealousy. I resented her to the core, not until our mother sat us both down.

Surprisedly, the resentment and jealousy I had for her, she also had for me. We saw each other as rivals and competitors and we let those emotions consume us. We were trapped in insecurities, fear and the constant question of who received our parent's love the most.
My sister and I have been working on our relationship ever since that day, and I'm happy to say that we're now very close. We're able to support each other and celebrate each other's successes, and I feel so grateful to have her in my life.
Siblings' relationships can be complex and challenging but our experience has let me know how rewarding and memorable it is. Looking back to our experience and how we have grown up and changed over the years. I think that those quarrels and fights have made us closer, stronger and compassionate about each other. It has taught us to communicate openly and let go of the feelings of resentment.
And I think that many siblings go through this struggle of competition and resentment. To work out these feelings can be hard but I also believe that siblings' relationships are very powerful and unique. It's not a lost war.

So if you're struggling with sibling issues, know that you're not alone, and that it's possible to work through these issues and build a stronger relationship with your siblings.
One thing that I think that can foster this sibling relationship is to try to see from each other's perspective. For instance, if your sibling is getting a lot of attention or praise from your parents, try to see things from their perspective. Maybe they're struggling with feelings of insecurity or loneliness, and they need that attention in order to feel loved and valued.
Or if your sibling is getting more opportunities than you, try to understand that they may have different needs or talents, and that they deserve to have those opportunities.

And that shouldn't make you think less of yourself or breed jealousy within you.
Finally, try to focus on the positive aspects of your relationship with your siblings.
Remember all the good times you've shared together, the laughter and the inside jokes, and the moments of support and understanding.
Even if you've had some tough times in your relationship, try to focus on the things that make your relationship special and unique.
