One often overlooked sign of toxicity in sibling relationships is the presence of consistent competition or jealousy. While some rivalry can be normal, if it escalates into a constant need to one-up each other or undermining one another, it can create a toxic environment. Instead of celebrating each other’s successes, a toxic sibling relationship might lead to feelings of resentment or inadequacy, ultimately damaging the bond. Recognizing and addressing these feelings early on can help foster healthier, more supportive sibling dynamics.
