Reply to "Non ACEs traumas and sibling abuse"

Thank you for your thoughtful responses to this thread. It is so prevalent, and I agree that because it is so normalized, we don't pay attention. Until we really stop to think about it. I've watched many lightbulbs go on in conversations as people make that link between the openness with which we now address other forms of abuse and the absolute silence about sibling abuse. Most people have never even heard the term 'sibling abuse' and so even victims/survivors are unaware that what they experience, even extreme abuse, isn't 'normal'.  And somehow, 'normal' makes it okay. I saw a dozen therapists over 17 or 18 years before one used the word 'abuse'. What about those who don't/can't access therapy.

I could go on ......
