Sibling relationships are a vital aspect of family dynamics, influencing individual development, emotional well-being, and identity formation (Whiteman et al., 2013). In traditional nuclear families, siblings often share a lifelong bond, shaped by their shared experiences and interactions (Hetherington, 1988). However, in blended families, sibling relationships can be more complex, with multiple caregivers, conflicting loyalties, and differing family cultures (Krein, 2012).
