    I’ll try to shorten my question. Since scapegoat is family system driven and the SH’s children are vulnerable to alienation by the narcissist driving it (in my case my mother), how do we educate are our children who have been alienated or those who still have. It fallen for it. My youngest is 23 and his oldest female sibling has joined my family in scapegoating me. He shows signs of going either way and some confusion regarding the extreme narrative his sister is sharing. How can I constructively inform him without overwhelming him sob when he leaves he doest become more indoctrinated in a way that’s better for his life and may pass it down? I appreciate your insight.

    I have Cptsd from the abuse of both my parents who have NPD, SA by my mother's second husband and later on also by my siblings. I suspected it for about 15 years, but I just realised about two months ago that I'm autistic. While my family and partners narcissistically abused me, I was totally on my own. At times I cry a bit for my young self, trying to learn to set boundaries, ask for things and get my needs met, at 52. Not trying to beat myself up, is a daily task

    It took me years to start feeling better from being scapegoated by both my father and mother families , I had to go all alone through so much pain in order to not identfy with the distorted immage my family was projecting on me. It is expecially difficoult here in Italy were nobody wants to face this subject were the family it is seen as the foundation stone of the country ! When I was in my 20ties I moved from Rome to San Francisco with no frends or contacts and created a new life for myself, it was a wanderful experience that filled my life with love and strenght , Unfortunately I had to come back in Italy after 20 years abroad and the whole thing hit me again, now I know much better and I am more aware even though I feel very isolated . I may moove again , it is never too late . Thank you Rebecca for your comforting words , it is liberating to get away for people like us.

    I have felt like just ending it many times in my life. Especially when I thought I deserved it due to my inferior nature. I even had a sister say to me. I always thought you would kill yourself when I asked why she said because that’s what I would’ve done if mom had treated me that way. But this is the very sister that is also the golden child and vigorously participates vicious mobbing me, creating and supporting extremely negative narratives about me, helps incorporate my children into the family system, and all other ways of participating in family scapegoat abuse. She only rarely said things that showed she understood and mostly talks out of both sides of her mouth according to the situation. It can be extremely confusing because of that. The back stabbing and betrayal are life changing.

    • @grogweedwalker

      I have a question. I’m 63 years old and have 4 sisters and a mother who have scapegoated me for decades. It has been severe and horrific. Even to the point of publicly trying to unsuccessfully use the courts to say I was crazy. Long story. I’ve had more mental test than anybody that I know. I even submitted myself to one with a forensic psychologist who was well-known. They still aren’t convinced. They have not had one mental test. But my question is this. It has to do with the fact that my children were targeted for alienation from me from birth by my mom and sisters. I was a single again, mom. Now My oldest daughter has been incorporated into the family narrative. She has been trying smear me and incorporate her younger siblings into my family’s narrative. She is 6 years older than the middle child and 11 years older than the youngest - as a flying monkey for the past 15 years. It resulted in my children being angry with one another. It’s divided them. But slowly, they are missing each other and turning against me. I absolutely have not done anything to deserve this. I think it’s the homeostasis you talk about. And it’s hard to resist a system that is bigger than you that you have history with. But it also resulted in my two youngest children becoming very depressed. My next to the youngest child (also going through other traumatic event ) began self medicating and struggled with addiction. So when my 23 year old youngest son about to leave home and possibly also be incorporated into the family system and scapegoating abuse son says to me as I voice my fears and explain the dynamics to him that it’s not his problem how do I put into words that it’s the whole family’s problem. That it dies impact him too? How do I let him know that what affects one person affects the whole family or is symptomatic of the whole family. If scapegoating abuse is passed down through relationships, isn’t the solution to have advocates in the family through relationships? Isn’t that encouraging health? I’d really like to have your opinion on this, as I try to put into words for him, why it’s his problem also. Why should we worry about someone being bullied. Why is how everyone is treated and accountability for integrity important. FSA seems to be also a moral issue. An opportunity for learning and evolution. I use the example of being at high school and seeing someone being severely bullied every day. I asked him if he would just watch that go on daily or would he step in and defend the person. But in families it’s even more severe than that. Mine is in a made for tv psycho movie level. How can anyone just watch that? So I will wait for your answer. Thank you so much for all you do. This is Pamela.

    I just found you and will be watching all of your videos. I have been scapegoated my entire life. I have figured out that once you are in that role it is almost impossible to escape. I am in my sixties and have recently gone through some really hard times including getting hit and run by a car and having my wife of 35 years and my kids abandon me when I needed their help and am suicidal. I've had enough. It's a long story but I am blamed for everything even though it does not add up. Therapists just want to ram responsibility down my throat and won't even hear what I have to say. It's like they are stuck and they won't even listen to evidence that not EVERYTHING that happens bad in the world is MY FAULT. I have lost everything that mattered to me and I only get criticized when I try to stand up for myself. It's such a mess and no one understands.

I know my Mum went through hell while she was pregnant (Dad was ill), and I sympathise, but it wasn't my fault. As an adult, at an extended family dinner I said 'I don't try to irritate you, Mum'. Her reply: 'you don't need to try, dear, just keep breathing'. Sums up my childhood really.

    Thank you for this video, Rebecca. This is so descriptive of me. When my mother would provoke me when I would ask her about her behaviors, I would get angry and act out when I was very young. One particular time when she was beating me, I went after her in reactive abuse by pushing her away, she would smile so evil and strangely get eerily calm . She would tell me to grow up and wash my face like nothing happened. Then sometime later, I would overhear her tell another family member or neighbor of what I did to her, but, her description of it was actually twisted and of what she had done to me! If I would tell the truth of what happened to that person, I would get more abuse from her and the person I was telling. I learned to go grey rock before I even knew it was a thing. I quickly learned to anticipate her mood swings and started to hide, suppress my anger and strong emotions. I also, had asthma that would get triggered by strong emotion too. She would provoke me to asthma attacks just to get sympathy from neighbors and others from me being sick. So, again, I repressed anger. Sometimes my expression of anger would be grief and sadness; usually in private. If I would express them to her, I would get ridiculed for that as well. I would be called a whiner, too sensitive, and told to grow up. I did have a tendency to fawn and had to be a "mother" to my mother and younger sisters. I, now, have learned to give myself permission to acknowledge my feelings , especially anger, and give myself permission to feel them. I have had to reparent myself. I have a strong prayer life and give it all to God and then work on validating them and what I learned from it to heal. Thanks again Rebecca!

I'm an INFJ-T Male that survived a 98.56% infant mortality rate from my frontal lobe collapsing. I over came the seizures. I needed to reconnect the frontal lobe to exist in life. As for the intricate wiring I made structures similar to Tesla coils and that was the reason why I lost all of the Executive functions that deal with mental cognition and behavioral controls. That is the reason why at 11 years old I was Ostracized from Society and I grew up playing 1,000's of video games without friends so the only way to live life in my reality is Solitude and Celibate I have Reached a stupid percentage at 44 years old. It's an Amazing 77%. Now I'm not complaining about it at all because I am able to enjoy an active Soul Vibrational Frequency using the 3rd state of being powered by Virtues and or Aethier. I recently began to utilize the Atmospheric Collectives Negativity sending it the the anthesis point of Earth crafting Oblivion. Strange weather in China? I received complete verification from the Schumann's frequency bands that experienced anomalies the exact same times that I was practicing my new gift. I've been focused on far different areas of perception of the spectrum of frequency. The average Human is 2Hz to 22,000Hz Yet the highest Ossicolation per second is 3.5 trillion or 3.5 terra Hz so it's definitely not a standard that all humans experience the exact same frequency spectrum of reality. Me I have become a cell tower a few times before my old phone didn't have a sim card and I had streaming UA-cam videos 5 miles from my place for 13 hours a few times. I can also cancel wifi and Bluetooth at will so 5 giga Hz is considered impossible for a human to produce yet I do it whenever I want. Anyways I am a Magus Gatekeeper so remember to enjoy your Journey through the Material Plane because Optimism is a Freewill Choice for everyone to make. & The path of the Healer is comparable to a blacksmith's Forge on the Soul....

    I went no contact three years ago, best decision of my life. It's very hard at first but totally worth it.. I'm finally able to live my authentic life no one controlling or manipulating me.. it's like breaking chains of evil... Life gets better every day.. no fear or self hatred.❤

    "When you were still in the womb.." My mom actually used that sentence. I have situational mutism(which I finally have a name for) and she used to berade me for it saying:"You were already so quiet, when you were in the womb, that I thought you were dead." Now how can you respond to something you can not have a memory of?

    Oh wow! This puts my life into such an articulate understandable way. After years of me blaming and fixing myself so she/they would feel better, I went no contact a several years ago. (I am 55 years old). I have suffered so much abuse because I was the truth teller and asked questions because I wanted to resolve the problems. The no contact came after I realized there was nothing I could do for them but love them from afar by praying for them. Now, my mother is trying to hoover me by giving me a sob story about having kidney failure (don't know how true or accurate this is as she always manipulated through illnesses; she was always more sick than everyone else) to try to suck me back into her life. She even reached out to my church and tried to plant the seed to them that I was the unloving one who won't call her and she asked them to give me her phone number. What she doesn't know is that my church is teaching on this subject and has become an enormous support network for me and others who suffer from this. My husband of many years and other two sons are very supportive and loving as well. She has turned one of my sons (and most of my other family members) against me and uses him/them to try to reach me. What they don't understand is that as a part of my healing journey, I have chosen to mourned her/their death already. This is such a long painful, necessary process but so worth it; it takes a lot of work of being uncompromisingly honest with myself and others. It's video's like this along with my support people that have helped and is continuing to help me recover. Thank you so much Rebecca, for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us all. I truly, appreciate you. God bless you always.

    "The so-called 'black sheep' of the family are, in fact, seekers of liberation for the family tree. These family members who refuse to adapt to the rules or traditions of the family system, those who constantly seek to revolutionize beliefs and go against the roads marked by family traditions, those who are criticized, judged, and even rejected, are generally called to release their family tree from repetitive stories that frustrate entire generations. The 'black sheep,' those who do not adapt, those who rebel, repair, detoxify, and create a new and blooming branch…countless unfulfilled desires, unfulfilled dreams, and frustrated talents of their ancestors manifest themselves in their rebellion, seeking to take place. The family tree, by inertia, will want to continue maintaining the castrating and toxic course of its trunk, making their task difficult and conflicting. Do not let anyone make you doubt; take care of your 'rarity' as the most precious flower of your tree. You are the dream of all your ancestors." ~ Bert Hellinger

      This, in many ways, mirrors my transpersonal views on the matter, which you summarize well. I've touched on some of these greater, more expansive realities in a few of my videos here.

    Can your book be translated ?. Scapegoating is universal. I am a victim of scapegoating. On the end of my father’s life I couldn’t care for hem because I was excluded from all decisions true my siblings. The loneliness is so spot on. The sexual, verbally and fysical abuse. I had it. Never never sorry. The day I stood up for myself hell Brooke loose. The recognizing is not only important for caregivers but for all professionals that involve family issues . Because scapegoaters exclude you from everything, everything and go all the way and tell everyone you are the problem.

    My father forced me to go to nursing school. He told me I was too lazy to go to university and he wasnt paying for tuition ( or anything else ). Nursing school is free in the UK tho you have to work as a junior nurse throughout the training. When i passed my exams and told my dad he said " thats no great shakes" I had no idea that was a narcissist move...thanks Rebecca.

    Isolation is a part of trauma. Remember, you can create a 'new' family with friends who quite possibly have similar family problems. While my faith is important, do not tell people at your Church as they will shame you into believing you HAVE TO be engaged with your family. God says nothing about you having to be a punching bag.

    The most important thing to realize is the attacks will increase when you do this, but that is to be expected. I had several people in my families involved so this basically required me to cut off everyone. To do this, I used events (e.g. holidays) and made excuses not to attend and after several months, I made the hard cut. The reason I did this was so I could monitor and manage retaliation as these people had contact with other people I knew. But be prepared, you may have to cut more than the troublemakers. Most importantly, do not fell guilty and believe the myth that family has to stick together.

    Listening again and I really can see what you’re saying about empaths looking for someone to understand us so bad. Especially AFTER a lifetime of being scapegoated and everyone has a false idea of who you really are already. I’m even being Gangstalked by them . I’ve been learning about this new tactic used to get people to attack an enemy. The FBI site explains how it works. See when so many random people are verbally attacking you, there’s no proof of any connection between them and you. So the instigator is shielded from accountability . Deplorable…🤷‍♀️ They cyber stalk and let everyone know where you are. No other recourse but to document… thank… I hope this makes sense
