I wanted to write this blog to let you know I’m the Evansville Unemployment Examiner for Examiner.com. You can find my page here. I’d love to know what you think!

So far, my experience with Examiner.com has been great and I’m enjoying learning how to share my knowledge about my topic with people all over the world.

They have thousands of informed local and national writers contributing hundreds of thousands of useful, informative, topic-specific articles every week, and they’re fast becoming the go-to source for local information in the U.S.

I wanted to refer anyone I know who might be a good Examiner, and I wanted to refer writers I'm connected to in some way. They are looking for people who have all the info on a particular topic, and I think Examiner.com might be a good way for you to share your expertise, reach a large audience, establish yourself as an authority, and make some extra money.

If you decide to apply, would you mind letting them know I referred you? Currently, Examiner.com is paying a $50 referral bonus for each person that I refer as long as their application is accepted –my ID is 69287. this number goes into the 'How did you hear about Examiner.com?' section on the personal information page of the application. If you forget the ID number, you can enter Evansville Unemployment Examiner or Kyriana Treadway. Keep in mind that this program is open to you too if you are accepted as an Examiner.

This video will make it really clear how to tell them I sent you.

If you have any questions you’d like to ask me before you apply, please let me know.

Thanks for taking a look at my page, and, if you decide to apply, good luck!

When Adult Children Fight

Sibling rivalry is not something that just happens to children. Sometimes sibling rivalry only gets worse over time, not better. It's hard on the entire family to watch adults act worse than their children. Something that they should have outgrown years ago is still a problem; but why?

One reason for adult sibling rivalry is that one or both siblings never grew out of jealousy of the other. Maybe one child was better at childhood things like school, sports, and other activities and the other child feels inadequate and that continues into adulthood.
Another reason for the issues and fighting is that one child felt that the other received more love and attention than the other and now they feel as an adult they are better able to lash out at their sibling.

It is possible for things to get better between the siblings but that really takes a lof of work from both parties. The one creating the fights and drama has to be willing to admit what they are doing and why. The sibling who is the victim of the childish acts has to be willing to overlook and not escalate situations that will give their sibling the satisfaction of knowing their tactics are working.
In extreme cases of adult sibling rivalry, there is so much fighting and tension that any kind of family reunion or gathering is stressful to all and eventually the family will split apart. The sibling who has caused the trouble is actually glad to split the family and finally have the undivided attention of their parents and other family members.

Individual and family counseling is really needed to sort out the history of the family dynamic. There will have to be some honest communications in order to help heal old and new wounds so these siblings can co-exist within the family unit. Everyone will need to understand their part in how ill will was left unchecked to the point that these adults are still fighting over childish things.

I hope that anyone in this type of relationship can seek the help they need to start to heal themselves and their family for future generations. I don't always believe that it's possible for all parties to let go of anger and resentment they have carried so long, Everyone should have the healthiest relationships they can in their lives.
You can only bend so far without breaking. You can't be happy without being true to who you are and if that means removing yourself from a painful and stressful relationship with a sibling who either can't or won't move past childish animosities.That may be the best option for your future happiness.
