The Glass Child

The Glass Child dives into the often overlooked perspectives of those who grew up with a brother or sister with a disability. They're called glass children, not because they're fragile, but because people often look through them. For many, it was a childhood filled with complicated feelings of guilt, anger, neglect and social isolation as their family navigated extraordinary circumstances. On this podcast, we will give voice to these seldom-heard narratives. We'll talk openly and honestly about the siblings’ personal struggles to find their own identity. Most of these stories will be heavy, and some difficult to hear. But all will be treated with the utmost empathy, care and respect.
