PEOPLE WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY AND FAMILIES: SIBLING RIVALRY
All young siblings experience some jealousy, rivalry, or competition for attention as part of normal development, but as they get older they are usually less intense. For young siblings or those with a history of consistent competition, survivor guilt may arise when a brother or sister is injured. The uninjured siblings may feel depressed or unworthy, unable to tolerate the unfairness of being whole and healthy while their sibling is suffering. This may be further intensified if the healthy sibling had been hostile to the injured one, perhaps even fantasizing about hurting or destroying him.
A sibling can also feel resentful, jealous, and left out when a brother or sister is severely injured and requires an extraordinary amount of parental attention and care. Parental preoccupation with the immediate crisis of the injury, months of rehabilitation, and perhaps years of care-giving can leave the uninjured sibling feeling that she is missing parental involvement. Her positive accomplishments and difficult challenges seem to pale in comparison with the overwhelming concerns of the sibling with the spinal cord injury.
Communicating these feelings is often the key to resolving them. As an older sibling, you can discuss your guilt feelings or jealousies with your injured brother or sister. This crisis can be an opportunity to forgive each other for old hurts, to improve and deepen your relationship. Providing support and becoming involved in your sibling's rehabilitation are constructive ways to deal with feelings of guilt or despair. Asserting your own needs and setting limits on your involvement will keep resentment from building and help normalize your relationship as your sibling progresses toward greater independence.
Parents of a young teenager with spinal cord injury can reduce potential conflicts between children by including the able-bodied children in planning and preparing for any changes that may be necessary. These changes might include altered sleeping arrangements or daily routines, different childcare plans, or reassignment of chores. In our experience, the less the children's routines and responsibilities are affected, the less resentful and more positive they will be.
Let your children share their opinions and be actively involved in reassigning chores, as well as visiting and talking with their injured sibling. And try to have some special time for each child. If you must be away from other children in order to care for the injured child, communicate frequently with them and let them know they are important to you. As much as possible, try to make rehabilitation a family process, so that all family members can express their feelings, be involved in planning, and experience a sense of family cohesion rather than family conflict.
