“I Felt Like the Glass Child”: Becky Cheetham on The Realities of Being a Sibling Carer

Giovanna catches up with her friend Becky Cheetham this week to talk about Becky's experience as a sibling carer.

Becky’s sister, Hannah, has cerebral palsy, and Becky opens up to Gi about the challenges and joys of growing up as part of a family shaped by disability. She reflects on feeling like ‘the glass child’ – the sibling whose needs can sometimes take a back seat – and the impact this has had on her life.

Plus, Becky shares her thoughts on the future, navigating her role as a sibling carer and what it means for her relationship with Hannah as they get older.
