There's a Word for This

What a glass child is, and why naming it changes the whole story.

This is the section that hands you the language. The articles explain what a glass child actually is, how the role takes shape inside a family pulled toward one child's needs, and why you got cast as the easy one. If you've spent years assuming you were just too sensitive or too much, you'll find out it has a name and a shape. Expect recognition more than instruction here. The point is to stop feeling like the problem and start seeing the pattern you were living inside.
