In today's episode, Shari Collins joins us talking about being a Glass Sibling.
Glass Children are the siblings of someone with a disability, whether mental or physical. They often go unnoticed in the chaos since they appear to be fine in comparison to the obvious need. This is especially prevalent in families who have a child with severe mental illnesses, since most time, energy, and effort seems to go toward managing that and not to the 'normal' siblings. Glass Siblings hide in plain sight and struggle through life unseen. Silenced by circumstances and learned behaviors based on the reactions of others, Glass Siblings struggle to find the help they need.
We talk about what the signs are of a glass sibling.
How parents can help if this is already occurring.
How parents can prevent this from happening.
