I can’t thank NRO readers enough for their generosity in volunteering to participate in my study of sibling conflicts in adulthood. The situations you describe are powerful, poignant, and applicable to so many people — and virtually never discussed. I want to encourage anyone else who is interested to contact me, and to give my contact information to thoughtful people you know who might like to participate as well. The only criterion is that the sibling(s) not have any serious mental or physical disability or addiction.You are making a significant contribution to research in uncharted waters.
