Dolapo grew up with three brothers and one sister. She really loved them and put in so much effort to have a good relationship with them but she was the last born. Because she was the last born child, her older siblings thought she was spoilt as she always got everything she wanted and was hardly scolded for things they got beaten for.
Was this enough reason for her siblings not to like her? Well, to them it was. She struggled and made numerous attempts to please them just to get in their good books but everything failed. This was a sad period for Dolapo and she had no one to talk to or express how she felt to. For no important reason, her siblings were not interested in loving her in return. The moment you give hatred an opportunity, it gets worse until you consciously withdraw the hatred.
This sour relationship continued and it became the norm. Dolapo soon got into a relationship and she couldn't tell the people that she would have loved to share it with the most. When the guy asked for her hand in marriage, she told her siblings. She knew they were happy for her but she still couldn't feel the love. On the other hand, her husband had a sweet and lovely relationship with his siblings and she was shocked that siblings could have a lovely relationship. His siblings transferred the love to her and she was happy.
Seeing that her husband's family was different, she made an inquiry into how they made it work between them and made up her mind to do whatever it takes to work on having a good relationship with her siblings. They are not there yet but she's not giving up.
Siblings are very important in our everyday lives and we must make conscious efforts to make this kind of relationship work.
