Sibling abuse, particularly in South Asian families, often remains invisible as it overlaps with cultural favoritism, which can perpetuate long-term psychological effects on victims.
Ambika’s case illustrates how sibling favoritism can breed entitlement in children, leading to abusive behaviors that go unchecked by parents, creating lasting trauma.
Despite being a prevalent issue, there is minimal research on sibling abuse, highlighting a significant gap in the understanding and addressing of this common form of domestic violence.
The dynamics of sibling relationships, particularly when influenced by cultural expectations and favoritism, are critical to understanding the nuances of familial abuse.
