Answer 1

your model relationship should like this

     // parent relation
     public function parent(){

        return $this->belongsTo(self::class , 'parent_id');
    }
    //child relation
     public function children()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(self::class ,'parent_id');
    }
    public function ascendings()
    {
        $ascendings = collect();

        $user = $this;

        while($user->parent) {
            $ascendings->push($user->parent);

            if ($user->parent) {
                $user = $user->parent;
            }
        }

        return $ascendings;
    }



    public function descendings()
    {
        $descendings = collect();
        $children = $this->children;

        while ($children->count()) {

            $child = $children->shift();

            $descendings->push($child);

            $children = $children->merge($child->children);

        }
        return $descendings;
    }
