Do you and your brother/sister get a long? How did/do they react to your success? Are they supportive? Can you and your sibling work together side by side to accomplish things?
My brother and I have what I consider an odd relationship. There is a strong bond and I think we would both do anything we could to help the other...but we are not "close". We don't talk regularly or anything like that. Hell, I just think my family in general is weird. Or maybe it's me.
Anyway, I am no more successful than my brother. We just took different paths. Both of us are able to support ourselves even if we aren't able to do everything and anything we want.
I can't think of a situation where we've had to work together to accomplish things, but then there is 10 years of difference in our ages.
I will say that we have become closer as we have gotten older and for that I'm very grateful.

I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. We all get along just fine. Do we have differences? Of course.
They've never been jealous of what I have achieved in my life or any success I've had. I am always excited for their successes. I might add that I am always proud of the success of their children.
One thing I know for sure in my life is that my siblings will ALWAYS be there to support me and my family. We've all proven that to one another at various times.
Yes, we can work together to accomplish things. Depending on what it is, we might disagree with how to accomplish something, but we get it done.
Our relationship is now non existent. I thought we were close, but it was a fake closeness. She is very self-centered and judgemental. I found myself having lots of anxiety when she came over. I finally confronted her, we fought for a month with no resolution, so I ended it. Sadly, I have no regrets and it's been the best decision for me. We have made two attempts to fix it since I cut her out, but she wants me to do all the work and change and her remain the same (she is NEVER at fault). As much as I would like to fix it, some things aren't meant to be and this is how it has to be for me to be sane.
I thought of this thread when watching Better Call Saul, btw.

How did your relationship get to be so great? Is this something that happened naturally or did your parents instill this?

many, many similarities to my relationship with my brother.....
I finally got to the point, after 50 years of his B.S. that I said, ENOUGH, I am DONE....
We have always lived far away, but we enjoy each other when we get to see each other. Now that we're older, I feel as though I've missed a lot of good times with their families, and I should make more of an effort.

My sister is 14 mos younger than I am and we have never fought about anything or stopped talking to each other...I would say she gets upset with me for stupid stuff since she is more conservative..not upset really just rolls her eyes at some of my antics I guess and laughs...we are very close...I love her..
My one brother has turned into an OCD recluse, has anxiety issues and has never been married..works goes home..invite him over he never comes etc...I get a text or call once in a while..
My other brother is WAAAAY off the deep end...has a wife he met on a foreign dating site and just is drinking himself into oblivion..sad to say I don't know where he is...he used to call all tanked up but not anymore..
