Episode 67: The Sibling Divide Why Your Brother Thinks Mom Is Fine

Episode 67: The Sibling Divide Why Your Brother Thinks Mom Is Fine30 jul24 min

In this episode, I unpack one of the most painful realities of family caregiving: why siblings can look at the same parent and see completely different realities. I explain the psychology behind the sibling divide, why both perspectives can be true, and how misunderstanding—not lack of love—often fuels family conflict. You'll learn practical strategies for getting everyone on the same page, creating shared responsibility, and replacing arguments with objective information. If caregiving has strained your relationship with your siblings, this episode will help you move from frustration to collaboration.
