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 discovered this. Thankful it exists.
I'm a scapegoat from birth onward, literally.
And lo and behold I married a scapegoat, but didn't know it. In retrospect I look back and realize many families "must" have a scapegoat, the way they must have a mailbox. Wow.
Desi Arnez in the long-ago comedy with his wife Lucille Ball used to say, "Lucy, you've got a lot o' 'SPLAININ to do."
Landing here...I have a LOT of reading.
Thanks in advance of my discoverings and following your stories that I know I'll understand too well for being here when I so terribly need you.
A great day to all from a grateful new member who'll understand the long, long pestilence thanks to you!

Happy reading. I hope you get something out of everything.
Pay particular attention to anything that our dear Kit (Artemis) has said, as she is the true wise one in our group and she started this site along with HOPE, the estrangement site. Sadly, she was taken ill a while back and is unable to use the computer at this stage.
Feel free to take a look at freeforums site as well.
love and hugs
