Growing Up in the Shadow of a Special Needs Sibling with Kathryn Selvidge

In this episode of A Trauma Survivor Thriver’s Podcast, I sit down with Kathryn Selvidge, author of Khloe’s New Start, a heartfelt children’s book inspired by her experience growing up as the sibling of a mentally ill older brother.

When a child has special needs, parents naturally devote much of their time and energy to their care. But what about the siblings? Often, they are left to navigate their emotions alone, leading to feelings of neglect, isolation, and even unspoken resentment. Kathryn shares her personal journey, the struggles she faced as a child, and the lessons she hopes to pass on to parents raising both special needs and neurotypical children.

This is an essential conversation for families, caregivers, and anyone seeking to better understand the unique challenges of siblings in special needs households.
