Scapegoat is a role that some children play growing up in dysfunctional families, so i learned more about it by reading ACOA material and codependency books. Cuz that is my role in my family too. My mother thinks i am lying when i am telling the truth, but she believes me when i lie!! Its like she doesnt know me, or even ever wanted to know me. She just wanted me to be the opposite of what i am, i guess. So i am just trying to BE ME, and whoever doesnt like it, can lump it.
