Summary
My friend Bethany shares one of her stories about sibling abuse. And, as is the case with virtually all sibling abuse, there is so much more at play than an older sibling harming a younger sibling. Harm from siblings never happens in a vacuum. An environment is created in the home by the parents that allows for and, in some cases, even invites, sibling abuse. Bethany graciously helps us understand how these dynamics played out in her home.

| 0:05.7 | privilege of hearing a story from my friend Bethany. Anytime you share part of your story publicly, |
| 0:12.4 | you are risking the possibility that your story will not be held with the sacredness and the honor |
| 0:18.6 | that it deserves. So as you listen to Bethany's story, I invite you to consider what does it mean |
| 0:25.6 | to hold with honor, the story of another human being whom you don't know. And how can you receive |
| 0:32.2 | Bethany's story with both a sense of sacredness and a sense of gratitude knowing that it has cost |
| 0:38.9 | her something to share one of her stories in such a public way. I'm so glad you're listening. |

| 1:05.3 | considering it. Here is my conversation with Bethany. All right, I am here with Bethany Robbins. Bethany, |
| 1:13.4 | it's good to see you. Good to see you too, Adam. Bethany is in Aberdeen, Scotland. |
| 1:19.6 | And say a bit about what you're doing there, who you are, what you spend your time doing. |
| 1:26.7 | Sure. Yeah, my family's been living in Aberdeen, Scotland for the last two and a half years, |
| 1:31.7 | while my husband completes a PhD at the University in theology. This is a preparatory phase for us. |

| 1:47.6 | There, once we're there, we're hoping to land there sometime in the next nine months, |
| 1:52.6 | and we'll be working with leadership development, theological training, and counseling as well. |
| 1:58.6 | Currently, I am homeschooling our three children. I am a birth doula, but have not been working in |
| 2:05.4 | Scotland, but we'll do more of that work while we're in Malawi as well. I am a fellow with the |
| 2:10.6 | Allander Center, and I'm a mom. Stay pretty busy doing that. So how did you get started with |
