S2_Ep-5: The Truth About Raising Siblings in a Special Needs Home - Specialness Pod
Description
"We were doing everything we could for our special needs son… but what about his brother?
"In this heartfelt episode of Specialness, Kim and Jeff open up about the emotional journey of raising their neurotypical son, Jackson, while navigating the chaos of parenting a child with severe special needs.
💬 In this episode:
✔️ How sibling jealousy, resentment, and isolation showed up

✔️ What they wish they could’ve done differently
✔️ How faith, therapy, and time brought hope and healing
✨ This episode is for every parent who worries if they’re doing “enough” for the sibling in the background—the quiet one, the angry one, the one who seems like they’re just “fine.”
