The term "sister by one parent" refers to a sibling relationship where individuals share only one biological or adoptive parent. In other words, siblings who have either the same mother or the same father, but not both, are referred to as sisters or brothers by one parent.
This relationship can occur through various circumstances, such as when a parent has children from different relationships or marriages. For instance, if a man has two daughters from his first marriage and later has a son with his second wife, those daughters and son would be sisters (or brothers) by one parent.
The concept of being sisters by one parent is often used to describe familial relationships, emphasizing that the bond between these individuals is not based on sharing both biological parents, but rather on their connection through a common mother or father.
Sisters or brothers by one parent typically share only half of their genetic material, as their biological parent is common whereas the other parent may have a different genetic makeup. However, it is important to note that this term does not diminish the significance or strength of the sibling bond between individuals who share only one parent, as their relationship can still be intimate, supportive, and lifelong, just like any other sibling relationship.
