Family scapegoating is a very common phenomena in dysfunctional families, whereby one member of the family will be cast as the family scapegoat. The selection process for dysfunctional family roles follows a certain criteria and as such, family scapegoating signs are easy to identify when you know what you’re looking for. Most specifically, family scapegoat abuse shows up in the way the primary target being scapegoated bears the brunt of the narcissistic family member’s anger. Anything and everything that goes wrong is somehow always the scapegoat’s fault. The reality is, every dysfunctional family system needs a scapegoat. That one person whose role it is to be the family punching bag, and garbage bin, so to speak. That one person is cast in the role via what is typically a silent and unspoken agreement, which allows the toxic, empathy empaired, and deeply unconscious tribe have a place to cast all of their blame, shame, and unresolved pain, fury, and trauma. And thus, the family scapegoat is selected, targeted, used, abused, exploited, and targeted some more. When does it end? Only when the scapegoat decides it does. Not a moment sooner.
