Friends over siblings

Philippines
March 2, 2018 9:21am CST
Its so sad to see a family member gives more affection to other people whom he call friends than his own siblings... A man works on a cruise ship and evry 6 months he spent his vacation together with this people. He can't even pay his siblings a visit or even inform them that he's home for a vacation. His siblings would just see his posts on his social media Account that his enjoying a trip with the whole family of whom he call friends.

It's his wish you can't do anything with it. He can't change for you.

We cannot make any judgment on his avoidance of members of his own family since we don't know the state of their relationship with one another. Sibling rivalry is as old as the Bible story of Abel and Cain.

Maybe there's a reason why he is more close to these people than his own siblings. Who are we to judge other people's lives. maybe he's just not close to his own siblings. Have you thought about maybe it's just something that he does.
