Listen to this twice…..once how it applies to us as a child. And second, wow how it applies to us as a parent. We can undo the damage, no matter the age.

Two siblings can experience the same parent and the same rupture, and their lives can unfold in radically different ways.

Years later, siblings can look at each other and feel genuinely confused by how different their lives look.

It’s not that one remembers incorrectly, exaggerates the pain, or was simply stronger. It’s that each learned something different about closeness, loss, and safety while trying to get through the same rupture.

In the moment, both were coping. Just differently.

One sibling may be the one who remembers the fights clearly. The waiting. The sense that something fragile could fall apart at any time. They track the parent who left or withdrew, trying to understand them, stay close, or make sense of what went wrong. With little support, the work happens internally. That strategy helps them get through then, but later it can show up in how pain is held, how relationships are navigated, or how much effort it takes to feel steady.

Another sibling may have had more support without it ever being named as such. A teacher who noticed. Friends whose homes felt calmer. A grandparent who offered consistency. Or an older sibling who absorbed some of the emotional weight. Their coping still forms, but alongside moments of relief and steadiness, which can shape how closeness, stress, and responsibility are carried later.

Sometimes siblings were treated differently by the same parent. One was leaned on. One was protected. One was expected to understand. One was allowed to avoid. Both adaptations were intelligent responses to what was happening at the time.

Those early lessons don’t disappear. They quietly shape how adulthood is navigated.

Respecting what you can’t control brings a lot more happiness and joy … I know I can’t control most s**t, that makes me happy, not sad .. understand this 💜

I pride ourselves on making sure we not only provide a safe environment for patients, but we also can make it fun. Since 5:30pm yesterday this pencil is still on the wall. A youth patient wanted to show their static pencil trick. Well here we are 11:30am on 1/21 and it’s still there.

Trauma is the invisible force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we love and the way we make sense of the world. It is at the root of our deepest wounds. Unaddressed trauma keeps perpetuating painful patterns in our lives.
