CynthiaWVirginia -> Plz, I need some help looking something up (5/4/2012 9:15:09 PM)

Tis me, the one who "flunked Google". [:D]
Someone I know would use help from an online support group I know of, but the list of groups is a mile long and after half an hour I barely made a dent. See...I need a NAME for it. Gah.
Does anyone know the name for... An adult sibling of a disabled child (sister was a burn victim) ? She was present when the accident happened, was three to her sister's five, they were alone for a short while in the car while her sis found the matches in the glove box and started lighting them. Her dress went up in flames.
Anyway, she became the invisible child in the house after this, as her sister needed all the care her parents had time to give. Having a special needs child is a reason why I never had a second child, as I was afraid my autistic son would take all of my time and energy and the other kid would suffer the consequences.
Being somewhat literal minded, I tried looking up "invisible child". [:D]
I don't think survivors' guilt would quite handle it, though this sort of group would be easy to find. Yes, I will include it on the list.
What she does with her own shrink in her own time is her business, but yanno, when most of us have problems it helps to be around others of our own kind. I'm afraid that I was not a good choice to talk with. If anyone knows the shrink phrase for this so I can look it up, I'd appreciate it.
