Glass Child Mad Pride Flag
A pride flag for Glass Children. Glass Children are the neglected siblings of children with more pressing or extreme needs. (Typically defined as the healthy siblings of disabled children, but a low-support child can be neglected for a high-support one, or one sibling's disability may be acknowledged but not the other.)
Glass Children are often parentified, and even if not, deal with the trauma of other types of neglect. Typically their experiences are of emotional neglect, but physical neglect is not uncommon either as their parents are simply not paying attention to their needs. They may also experience emotional abuse, being held to high standards or not allowed to make any sort of mistake.
