“In a family with an externalizing sibling, the parents’ attitude is often to silence any complaints of unfairness by the internalizer, telling the child to try to get along or to understand the sibling’s problem.

The message to internalizers is that they should put their needs on a back burner and instead focus on what the externalizer needs.”
