The Real Reason I Cut Off My Siblings: When Blood Is No Longer Thicker Than Water | LNN

For years, we’ve been told that “blood is thicker than water,” but what happens when that very blood becomes the source of pain, guilt, manipulation, or emotional neglect? What role do parents play in shaping sibling dynamics and more importantly, in breaking them? In this deeply emotional and eye-opening episode, I sit down with psychologist Trizah Kainika to unpack a reality many people silently carry: cutting off siblings and choosing peace over blood. Together with Trizah, we explore the hidden trauma in African families, the parental favoritism that drives siblings apart, and the courage it takes to walk away, not out of bitterness, but for your own healing. This conversation is not just personal. It’s for every person who’s been told to “keep the family together” at the cost of their own mental health. #LNN #LNS Support Our Work MPESA: +254 726 916 908 Or through PayBill: 4096889 Account Name: LNN Thank You
