The old saying has always been “blood is thicker than water.” Not everyone who is blood related is considered family. Some of our own family members may become our worst enemy. I realize at a later age on how introverted and complicated family ties can be. At a young age we do not fully understand what is going on around us when we may be around family members but with good parents they would shield their children from seeing such drastic events in family affairs. When you have a sibling as an enemy things may get complex and complicated but there are of casualties of war which then carries over to intergenerational trauma.
One example is there are two sisters and one will assist and go off the face of the earth for her sister. On the other hand, the other sister will cause problems such as act two-face, gossip, and continue to conquer and divide within the family and even between friends. The good, the bad and the ugly is in family ties. I am sure if you are reading this article you may know or may even be dealing with family ties.
The best way to deal with people as described in this article would be to maintain distance and continue your daily living with positive people around you and people who means something to you. However, sometimes it is hard to identify people who you may consider as a friend but also consider intergenerational trauma and what it may do to the next generation. Some family ties are beyond repair and continue intergenerational trauma and that is a losing battle.
