With a growing population of people OTD, there is an even larger growing population of their siblings. The sibs need help to deal with their own reactions, including a great sense of loss, fear for the OTD sibs’ well-being, embarrassment by the OTD sibs’ behavior, a desire to help and a sense of responsibility to correct the problem. This can be very painful for the sibs, especially for sibs who were close before the change occurred. Too bad we don’t hear much about “specialists” in helping the sibs deal with OTD.
