Lillian S. Hawthorne
-
“Sibling relationships in general are among the earliest and the most lasting relationships in our lives, but they are also among the least understood and the most underestimated.”
-
“... siblings play a unique and continuing, although changing, role in our lives.”
-
“Thanks to Freud, the terms sibling and rivalry became virtually attached to each other.”
-
“Sibling relationships are complicated, ambivalent, powerful, and lasting.”
-
“The three familial relationships — with our siblings, our parents, and our children — are irrevocable and irreplaceable. A person can be an ex-spouse, ex-friend, or ex-lover, but not an ex-sibling, ex-child, or ex-parent.”
-
“Our siblings can be allies against parents whenever we, as children, wage our silent, secret, but unavoidable wars against them.”
Lillian S. Hawthorne, U.S. writer
(1924 - 2013)
