Throughout my research process, I expanded my topic on the misunderstandings of being a sibling of somebody who is disabled, who is commonly referred to as a glass child. One of the major themes I have uncovered is the feeling of guilt, which I feel is not brought up enough. Guilt can arise when the glass child finds themselves succeeding more than their disabled sibling, which is a thought they keep to themselves. Another point I want to mention is that there are very limited options for the glass child to express their experiences. In today's society, when people approach someone who is a glass child, the first question they might ask is, "How is your sibling?", instead of asking how the glass child is doing. When I was growing up, I never thought deeply about that question, as I may have been numb to it; but now, I can see how people look through me, which is Alicia Maples’ definition of a glass child (TEDXSanAntonio). My research justified this theme for me because, on a personal note, when people eventually do ask about my life, I will often open up. However, I’ll likely be hesitant to share my inner thoughts, and my story. I then later find opening up very freeing, and I would like to study how sharing my story can inspire to share theirs. Furthermore, another major theme I came across was the idea of feeling invisible to others, which ultimately ties together with the previous thought. It creates the contradiction where glass children can be seen as ‘mature’ or ‘helpful towards their parents,’ because they felt obligated to. They had to be glue that holds a family together which can lead to feelings such as guilt. As this all ties together, I would like to further explore the sensory aspect of glass child syndrome with my thesis project.
