Question
Hi There....
My cousin has two kids, one 21yr son and 17yr daughter. The problem is the son is the favourit one by his family and he does whatever he likes and no body dare to tell him anything...This created a jealousy factor between him and his sister. She does not know what to do and how to cope with the situation anymore...Please can You advice her on what to do...because the situation is now so intense and she thinks of leaving the house which her parents fear that option very much and they want her to stay in the house till she grow up and can rely on herself....

Thank you for your help and looking forward to hear from you.

Regards
ARY

Answer
Dear Ary,
To properly answer this question i need to know the following;
Does he live at home?
Did the Son and Daughter have a relationship at all?
How old are you (in case you sincerely believe in intervening.)
Are you close with the son?
What all does he do?
After these questions are answered i can have a better understanding of the situation.
Thanks,
Rachel

Expertise

I am able to answer questions pertaining to sibling relations, sibling rivalry, and how to deal with everyday life with your siblings. If you need to help with how to strengthen your relationship with your sibling then you’re in the right place! I can help you bond with your brother or sister even if you are ready to rip each others hair out. All I need from you is to be open to my advise even if it sounds silly.

Experience

I lost my mother when I was eight years old and this left me feeling animosity to my younger sister since I had to take on the motherly role. This put a strain on my relationship with my sister and myself. I needed to gain a relationship with my sister and strengthen that bond. Even though my sister and I are not the best of friends, we are still connected with a strong sisterly bond. It also helps that I majored in psychology for two years in college.
