Siblings

Died too early
Not been supportive
They do not care
Estrangement
Resentment,
even hatred.

What are your
personal triggers
around family?
Our oldest wounds,
and the deepest.
Made at a time
when we had to rely on them,
as care givers, as source of life.
As source of love and warmth -
or NOT a source of it.

They - shaped by life,
and
did they have a choice?
Did you?
Did I?
And, even more importantly:
Do they have a choice now?
Do you?
Do I?
