3. The Hard-To-Visualize Issues of Associated Siblings Next, we asked «Associated Siblings», children with siblings who have disabilities or illnesses, to respond to a questionnaire about what difficulties they faced in their childhoods. «When I was in school, some inconsiderate classmates in my grade would make fun of me a lot because my older sister, who was two grades above us, was deaf and wasn't able to speak properly. I didn't want to trouble my parents, so I never told them about it.» «I always felt lonely because my parents were not able to give me as much attention as they gave to my sister, who was born with a congenital, incurable illness and needed constant care. I was even jealous of my sister, who was in the hospital with our parents looking after her, while I was left alone at home.» «For as long as I can remember, I've been expected to be more of a caretaker than anolder brother for my disabled younger brother, so I think I became a very repressed child due to having to unwillingly act in a manner that was not appropriate for my age.»
