[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 671811, member: 18958"] I am trying to figure it out too. I do not think it is in the main about them. I think it is about how the rest of the children respond to the sister or brother. Had I been willing to play ball with my mother and step-father I could have played the part, too. What we overlook sometimes, is the steep, steep price they pay for the influence they gain. Parentification is what they call what happened to us, Cedar. Whereby there is a role reversal between parent and child and the child is called upon to parent her parent...fulfilling emotional needs, as a way to survive. I found an article that talks about it in relation to sibling rivalry. Interestingly, I found it by googling Cinderella and sibling rivalry. Katarzyna Schier Krakow The consequences of the neglect of children’s developmental needs. The relationship of the siblings. I was looking to better understand how and why our sisters became the way they were but did not find much in the article to help me out. COPA [/QUOTE]
