It's sibling abuse

If your sibling ever made you feel small, unsafe, or invisible — and no one stepped in — you're not imagining it. That's abuse, and it deserves to be named. Sibling abuse is one of the most common forms of family harm, yet it's rarely talked about — often dismissed as "normal rivalry" or "just kids being kids." In this video, Dr. LePera breaks down what sibling abuse actually looks like, why parents so often look away, and what it takes to finally heal from it — even if your family never acknowledges what happened.
