Complete transcript:
Sibling abuse is the most common form of family abuse and it's also the least studied. The Sibling Aggression and Abuse Institute advocates that it be added to the ACES scale or the childhood trauma evaluation because over a third of people in the United States experience sibling abuse.

Of course, siblings fight and they have issues, especially as they go through the different stages of childhood, adolescence, and teenage years. But sometimes in a dysfunctional family system, siblings are actually experiencing abuse and parents may be downplaying it by calling it sibling rivalry.

Instead of correcting the behavior and following through with boundaries, some parents actually look the other way. And in extreme cases, they might even encourage the behavior. The truth is, some behaviors go beyond teasing.

And when family members tell us that we can't take a joke or that we're too sensitive, it creates even more shame and secrecy. So, if your abuser was your brother or sister, know you're not alone. Just because other people aren't ready for that conversation doesn't mean that it didn't happen. Just because your family doesn't acknowledge it doesn't mean that it didn't impact your ability to trust yourself or to connect with other.
