The reason that I asked about if they were similar in personalities is because my sister and her son are the same way. They are identical in the way they do things and my sister is harder on him than his sister. I think they treat the children that way because they see so much of themselves in them and they don't want them to be the same way they are, but that's only my opinion.
That's been my experience as well. We as humans tend to be harder on those we care about and those we see that are so like us, they do the things we dislike about ourselves.
That's human nature. It's not an excuse though. We're not animals; we learn our behaviors and we learn how to overcome. Not always very quickly though, eh?
They will figure out their relationship over time.
I doubt seriously he hates her or that she hates him; and it's a fine line between love and hate. A lot of emotion I can believe, but hatred and love can be easily confused. Apathy is the dangerous emotion
I do strongly feel that they are peas in a pod and likely have similar ways to deal with things. Personalities that are similar would have the hardest time meshing because neither of them will give and each will know what the other is going to do. It's how they break that cycle that makes the difference. To a third party, it would look painful and it likely is. But if not for that pain, what reason to change? To look for a solution?
