Family resents brother for dating someone wealthier than them, supporting sister comes to his defense, leading to a rift in the family: ‘They don't deserve him’

If you have siblings, you are aware that every family with siblings has to deal with some sort of rivalry between them. You can be best friends with your siblings, love them, and want the best for them, and still feel like you compete with them for the title of 'most successful child'.

Or maybe it is just me, I'll have to ask my therapist about it.

But even if you do feel like you're in competition with your siblings, there is a big difference between wanting all of you to succeed in life (and maybe for you to succeed slightly more), and preferring your siblings to be miserable instead of successful. Jealousy is an ugly emotion, and letting it control your relationship with your siblings can lead you down a dark path that might end with the actual crumbling of your family.

Instead, being happy for someone so important to you should be the path you want to go down. Celebrate each other's wins, and genuinely be happy when they are happy–those are the foundations on which you should build your relationships with your family.

The story down below is a cautionary tale, that proves that siblings are way better off having each other's backs than competing against each other. May we never end up like this family and only know joy for others' success…

What pains me in this story, is that it wasn't just about sibling rivalry, the parents were also letting their jealousy ruin their relationship with their son. They couldn't put their ego aside and be happy for someone else's success. What kind of family is that?
