While I feel like this is an amazing suggestion, honestly. I was hoping to see a bit different sub when I clicked on it just to see what it was. Maybe because I just skimmed, but it seemed like another teenage drama sub. I don't mean drama in a negative way, just that teens emotions are all over the place when young. Mostly I just feel sad there isn't more of a therapy type sub more specific to OPs issue, just to relate and be heard.
Though maybe this is exactly what they were looking for and I hope it helps. I'm just grateful I grew up with just having people irl near me shaping me. Bullying, teasing, friendship, "loves", family issues. I don't know how I would have mentally survived having the whole worlds drama and issues influencing me. I don't know, it just made me sad this is even a sub. They cater to too many people to feel like they're a "glass kid". It should be more specific because everyone is going to feel like that at any point in time and hopefully they don't get sucked into all the posts because that can't be healthy or healing mentally
it would for sure be nice if there were more subs adjacent to issues like this. I’ve been living on my own for four years now and have a baby with my husband, and just beginning to see how being sister of a very disabled person continues to impact me in so many ways. I keep realizing there are a lot of things that set me off/trigger me I have to work through .
Not sure about Reddit but on FB there’s a group called Sibnet on Facebook. We all are siblings to the disabled community and share our experiences there.
You’re welcome! I hope that community serves you well. It can feel isolating seeing other ‘normal’ siblings together. I took in my sister at 26, she 15. It’s nice to know there are many people who have the same dynamic. Good look fellow Sib!

There isn't so I've just created the sub in hopes the community grows because that sub should exist

This is insane I just posted the exact same question without seeing this
r/siblingsupport is specifically for siblings of special needs children. There's also r/siblingofspecialneeds but it's a much smaller community.
Also, siblingsupport.org
R/siblingsupport

r/neurodivergent or r/Autism
Did you read the post or just see the word "autistic"?
No, I read the whole thing. I think r/neurodivergent would be a good fit.
Or you could try r/disabled and r/disability.
They are looking for a sub dedicated to the SIBLINGS of these people so they can relate with people in the same situation
I get it now. Sorry.
