Scenario

When adult siblings get stuck in childhood roles

My brother and I are both in our forties and we still fall into the exact same dynamic every time we're around our mom — he becomes the responsible one handling everything and I become the family screw-up even though my life is actually fine now. We've never talked about it but I can see it happening and I think he can too and it's exhausting for both of us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are unconsciously recreating family patterns that no longer serve who they've become.
