  "abstract": "The term ‘glass child’ has never made much sense to me. It’s meant to describe people like me—siblings of children with complex, life-redefining conditions. The idea, I think, is that we’re see-through or easily overlooked, our needs unintentionally unmet. But it also suggests we’re fragile, as though we might break under the slightest stress but that could not be further from the truth. I have never felt fragile. If anything, growing up beside my sister made me bulletproof. Anyone who has been ‘the well one’ knows the strength it requires to carry the weight of the world without showing even the smallest sign of wear. But the problem with being bulletproof is that no one thinks to check for cracks.",
