[quote=Anonymous]I think how parents raise their kids can influence their relationships as adults. My grandmother, although a wonderful grandmother to her grandkids, pitted my mom and her four siblings against each other as kids, especially the girls. They’ve always had some really dysfunctional relationships with each other and would all benefit from some therapy. Although my mom was better with raising myself and my two sisters there was a level of subtle favoritism directed at me that my middle sister resented especially. It made her become super competitive and strive to be everyone else’s “favorite.” She hasn’t come to visit us in 3 years but visits our other sister multiple times per year (similar distance). It just is what it is and it’s not like we are estranged or anything, but I hope my two kids will have a better relationship. [/quote]
