not to cast blame, but from anything i can figure out those who blame and scapegoat are simply unable to accept their own responsibility for how things are? one of my step-mothers was a scapegoater... she was just angry it seemed to me all the time, needed someplace to vent constantly, so, i guess i was the nearest weakest object?

Not - in my case...... as I was a very Happy Girl and it was my Family that placed this Title upon me so they would not have to face their own issues and admit the family problems...... as my T put it - it was easier for them to blame me (give me the power) than to face themselves in the mirror.

There is a difference in those that accept the Scapegoat Role and those that have it bestowed upon them - think about it.
