Family Scapegoats Community Group
This is a Group for discussing Scapegoating. The Scapegoat is often the family member who tells or acts out the truth ("the Truth Teller") regarding the family's dysfunction that no one else is prepared to acknowledge or talk about. It is this truth telling that makes them the target for carrying the blame for all the family's problems. If you are the Scapegoat...
I just went to see ky mother 5 days ago and she thought of something of mine she wanted to talk about them started yelling and screaming in front of my kids. I dont visit but maybe once every 6-7 weeks so this bothered me and I asked for an apology. She screamed and scared me and my kids calling me all sorts of names. Then she called my baby sister whom I was on my way to visit next. My sister wouldn't even speak to me. I cried all night. Idk why this happens out of nowhere and why my sister thinks its okay to not speak to me when I didnt do anything. I gave it to God and was feeling better the following day. However, I woke up crying in my sleep that morning. Realizing this was the first time this sister has treated me this way and well that makes all my sisters now. So i think thats why i took it so hard. She defends our mom stating she is older and in bad health from drinking alot. As if that excuses how much the abuse hurts. But never has she punished me and left me hanging like last week. I will be okay and i realize i do need counseling for this. Thank you all for this group. This is why i joined.
It’s hard. Need a good story about someone who broke away and had a great life
