"My advice to other people who have been harmed by their siblings is, if you are just starting to acknowledge your feelings about that sibling and the possible abuse that happened, then that in itself is 80% of the work. Because you've grown up with it and therefore it was normal."
- Sasha, survivor of sibling abuse
