""Sibling drift is the gradual emotional distancing that can happen between sisters and brothers over time. There isn't one big moment that pushes you apart and it's not that you don't dislike each other, it's just that the relationship is a little quieter than usual.""
""You can tell that your sibling isn't super curious about your life, and you often have to be the first one to check in. It can be exhausting and hurtful.""
Sibling drift refers to the gradual emotional distancing that occurs between siblings over time, characterized by infrequent communication and canceled plans. This phenomenon can lead to feelings of exhaustion and hurt, as one sibling may feel they are the only one making an effort. It often happens in families where closeness is not prioritized, resulting in a one-sided relationship. Over time, this drift can escalate to forgotten birthdays and lost contact, highlighting the importance of maintaining sibling connections.
