You can't really prevent a family from having a scapegoat, especially such a large and dysfunctional family such as my family of origin. I don't see them as ignorant...well, maybe a little. But really I don't want any enemies in the family.

The scapegoat role gets carried into life and I want to figure out how to avoid that. Like in my last job. I was too vocal and it was stupid of me to point out what was unfair...when everyone could see plain as day things like messing around with people's work schedules was really unfair. But that is the kind of thing a scapegoat person does. They like to tell everyone else the truth about a situation. From now on I keep my head down...
