Scenario

When adult siblings revert to childhood roles during family visits

My brother and I are both in our 40s and we still fall into these terrible patterns when we visit our parents — he becomes the golden child and I become the difficult one, even though we're both successful adults who get along fine when our parents aren't around. It's like we time travel backwards and get stuck.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who have grown beyond their family patterns keep getting pulled back into old dynamics that no longer serve anyone.
