A study compared 137 divorced families and 165 married families. The study showed that the siblings supported each other during the difficult process of divorce and family division. The older brother was there to protect and care for the younger ones. The role of “parent” assumed by older siblings was not always appreciated by younger children since they were not the real parent. Siblings were still able to support each other and get along while parents argued and addressed their conflicts (Sheehan, G., Darlington, Y., Noller, P., & Feeney, J. 2004). One little girl who was part of the study said that her older sister was the only one who could understand how she was feeling and what she was going through at the time. In this study, the bond and warmth that siblings showed to each other was higher than in married families, but there was a higher rate of hostility in siblings from divorced families than in married families. This demonstrates a long-term effect because siblings have learned to lean on each other and overcome their differences from a young age (Sheehan, G., Darlington, Y., Noller, P., & Feeney, J. 2004 ). I can relate to this because my younger brother and I are always together, whether at our mother's house or father's house. We have experienced the same things differently than our older sister, as she only stays at our mother's house. We are all there for support, even if there are arguments between us. The divorce was a positive event for our family for me and my brother's family
