When Your Sibling Destroys Your Family From Within
193It's hard to believe that a sibling would dare to use and abuse their own sibling.
In a toxic family dynamic, it is common for siblings to have challenges and find communication difficult.
A sibling who uses another sibling is often engaging in behaviors they deem to be "normal" or "family-based."
Their toxic family attitude may be: "you owe me some support because you are my sibling." OR "We're family, how can you turn your back on me?"
In this live chat, I discuss the psychology of the parasitic lifestyle in sibling.
