S2 Ep 5: Behind Closed Doors: Sibling Abuse and Relationships with Mary Garden

Season #2

In this real and raw episode of Relationships Under the Microscope, my guest is Mary Garden, an author and freelance journalist who explores the topic of her recently published memoir - My Father’s Suitcase. Her memoir highlights the most prevalent form of abuse which remains largely unrecognized and not spoken about - that of sibling abuse.

Mary reveals the emotional and psychological toll of sibling abuse, sharing her personal experiences and highlighting the importance of understanding its long-lasting impact. This conversation invites listeners to reconsider the realities, trauma, and traditional narratives surrounding family dynamics, while opening a dialogue on healing from within the family unit.

Mary's has been featured in The Guardian, Australian Financial Review, New Zealand Geographic, and more.
