[quote=Anonymous]Expect the older sibling to distance themself from the family when they are out of high school and college. We saw this dynamic and with a friend's family. Son got ulcerative colitis. Major drama for 5 years. Son was going to die. Son was depressed. Son had multiple surgeries. Son was suicidal. etc. 100% of the focus was on the son and the drama. The daughter was forgotten. Daughter got engaged and she did not want her brother or her father at the wedding since the focus was always on the brother. Mother had to do major negotiations with the daughter to get the brother and father invited to the wedding.[/quote]
