Boundaries Over Blood

Boundaries Over Blood 

The New Family Reality 

( GloRilla vs. BroRilla aka Scarface) 

Sibling Rivalry & Sowing Seeds of Discord


In the Last Days: When Sister Turns Against Sister and Brother Stands Against Brother

The Bible tells us plainly: “In the last days, perilous times shall come.”

It speaks of households divided, families fractured, and bloodlines broken by pride, entitlement, and unresolved wounds. It says brother will be against brother, sister against sister, and even parents will become sources of discord instead of protection.

We are watching this play out in real time.

Recently, rapper GloRilla’s sister went public, claiming that GloRilla owes her money because they are siblings. That alone tells us everything about the mindset — not partnership, not relationship, not gratitude — but entitlement.

But the situation goes deeper than a viral headline.

GloRilla is the eighth child out of ten, and she is younger than the sibling she’s currently in conflict with. That matters. Birth order matters. Family structure matters. Dynamics matter.

Later, younger siblings came forward and challenged the narrative. They stated that the sister accusing GloRilla did not experience the same upbringing they did — and in fact, had a harder childhood because of the timing of their parents’ lives, circumstances, and maturity. They also made it clear that GloRilla has done a lot for her family, including her parents and people who helped raise her.

Then more information surfaced.



Reports revealed that the sister physically attacked GloRilla and was arrested in an incident involving a gun.

So what began as a claim of “she owes me because we’re family” evolved into something much darker — violence, resentment, entitlement, and unresolved trauma surfacing in public.

This isn’t just celebrity gossip.

This is a family systems issue.

This is a spiritual issue.

This is a generational issue.

This is a biblical pattern.



No one owes you anything.

Not even family.

Blood does not equal access.

DNA does not equal entitlement.

Shared parents do not equal unlimited grace.

You get what you put in.

Some siblings grow up believing they can:

  • Treat you poorly

  • Disrespect you

  • Dismiss you

  • Compete with you

  • Undermine you

  • Harm you emotionally

  • Harm you physically

…and still feel entitled to your resources, your access, your platform, and your protection.

But life doesn’t work that way.

And neither does God.

How you treat people when you’re younger absolutely shapes the relationship you have when you’re older, unless those wounds are addressed, healed, and confronted.

Unhealed childhood dynamics don’t disappear —

they mature into adult resentment.

This is the part we don’t like to talk about.




Parents play a massive role in how siblings relate — as children and as adults.

Some parents:

  • Praise one child and withhold praise from another

  • Compare siblings

  • Favor one personality over another

  • Parent children differently based on mood, maturity, or season of life

  • Create competition instead of unity

  • Confide in one child about another

  • Place emotional burdens on older children

  • Overlook quieter children

  • Reward obedience but ignore emotional needs

And sometimes it’s not intentional — it’s capacity.

When parents have children over long spans of time:

  • One child may experience an immature parent

  • Another child experiences a more healed, developed parent

  • Another experiences a financially stable parent

  • Another experiences a burned-out parent

Same household.

Different parents.

Different experiences.

Different wounds.

That creates resentment.

That creates comparison.

That creates bitterness.

That creates entitlement.

That creates rivalry.

That creates emotional fractures that follow children into adulthood.

Parents can unknowingly sow seeds of discord that grow into adult division.



We are in a time where family bonds are being tested.

Not by strangers.

Not by enemies.

But by blood.

This is exactly what Scripture warned us about.

In the last days:

  • Loyalty will be conditional

  • Love will be transactional

  • Family will feel entitled to access

  • Relationships will be weaponized

  • Closeness will become competition

  • Support will become expectation

  • Boundaries will be labeled betrayal

And entitlement will replace gratitude.

Let me say this plainly:

Being related to someone does not make you entitled to their success.

Being related to someone does not give you ownership over their resources.

Being related to someone does not excuse mistreatment.

Being related to someone does not override accountability.

Being related to someone does not cancel out boundaries.

Sometimes family doesn’t want relationship —

they want benefits.

Sometimes they don’t want connection —

they want control.

Sometimes they don’t want healing —

they want access.

And sometimes they don’t want peace —

they want power.



Family wounds hurt deeper than any other wounds.

Sibling betrayal cuts differently.

Parental dysfunction echoes longer.

And unresolved childhood trauma always shows up in adult relationships.

But here’s the truth that sets people free:

You are not obligated to maintain relationships that destroy your peace.

You are not required to fund dysfunction.

You are not called to enable entitlement.

You are not responsible for healing what you didn’t break.

You are not selfish for choosing boundaries.

And you are not ungodly for protecting your spirit.

Love does not mean access.

Forgiveness does not mean permission.

Grace does not mean entitlement.

Family does not mean ownership.

In the last days, brother will rise against brother.

Sister will rise against sister.

Households will divide.

And families will fracture.

But wisdom will teach you this:

Not everyone who shares your blood shares your heart.

Not everyone who calls you family is safe for your future.

And not everyone who comes from you deserves access to you.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do

is choose peace, boundaries, and wisdom

over guilt, obligation, and entitlement.

Because love without boundaries becomes bondage.

And family without accountability becomes dysfunction.
