My sister and I both moved back to our hometown after our kids left and we thought it would be great to be closer, but instead we keep falling back into old family dynamics and competing over who's handling this transition better. We're both dealing with the same empty house feelings but somehow that's making us more critical of each other instead of more supportive.
More people experience this than they realize.
Adult siblings attempting to reconnect discover that shared circumstances can trigger old competitive patterns rather than creating the mutual support they hoped for.
