The bond siblings develop in childhood may be vastly different from the relationship that evolves in adulthood. Driven by affection but also characterized by ambivalence and ambiguity, adult sibling relationships can become hurtful, uncertain, competitive, or exhausting though the undercurrents of love and loyalty remain. An approach that recognizes the positive aspects of the changing sibling relationship, as well as those that need improvement, can restore healthy ties and rebuild family closeness. With in-depth case studies of more than 260 siblings over the age of forty and interviews with experts on mental health and family interaction, this book offers vital direction for traversing the emotional terrain of adult sibling relations. It pursues a richer understanding of ambivalence, a normal though little explored feeling among siblings, and how ambiguity about the past or present can lead to miscommunication and estrangement. For both professionals and general readers, this book clarifies the most confounding elements of sibling relationships and provides specific suggestions for realizing new, productive avenues of friendship in middle and later life—skills that are particularly important for siblings who must cooperate to care for aging parents or give immediate emotional or financial support to other siblings or family members.

It seems that when one secret is uncovered, more start to come out… Destin I never considered our lives to be particularly eventful. Sure, our family setups were a little unconventional, especially with so many people in our close circle running their own companies and all, but there was never much drama going on. Until this year, it seems. While we worried about me mating Seb, him being pregnant and trying to figure out where to go from here, it seems that we weren’t the only one struggling. Seb’s younger brother, Dan, just dropped a massive bomb of a secret on us, leaving all of us reeling. How are we going to fix this now? Seb I thought that the only thing I had to worry about this weekend was our families finding out that I’m pregnant. My biggest fear was their anger or disapproval. But it seems that that should have been the least of my worries. Dan has been acting strange ever since the summer, and he just told us why. He’d been cheating his way through school all of last year, and he’s failed all of his tests this year. His solution? He’s going to leave as soon as he turns eighteen, which is only two weeks away. So he won’t have to explain to our parents or the school what’s going on. Because if word gets out that he’s been cheating, there will be grave consequences. I can’t let him do this. I can’t. But it means that I have to make some hard choices, if I want to keep my family together. And it means keeping even more secrets from our parents… This is the fifth novella about Alpha Destin and Omega Seb in Blossoming of Fate, which takes place in the non-shifter Omegaverse Mates World and contains mpreg (male-pregnancy). This novella may include any of these elements: steamy scenes, ‘I need tissues NOW’ moments, cries of ‘why, oh, why’ and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author).
