what does everyone think of the term "glass child?" For those who don't know it's when a kid is consistently ignored by their parents in favor of a child with disabilities/more severe needs. It often leads to parentification which is when a kid has to take on a caretaker role at an age where they aren't prepared to do so mentally or physically (giving your sibling their meds, being the person your parents vent to about how hard it is to parent your sibling, taking on the role of the "bigger person" because your sibling "doesn't know that they did something wrong").

a lot of the people who were/are glass siblings usually have neurodivergent siblings, they don't really seem to blame their siblings and recognize that they can't control having their condition, but do blame their parents for not being able to divide attention appropriately and let them be a kid.

I'm wondering what everyone here thinks of the term?
