Everybody's enemy.

Scapegoat sibling

This is the sibling who has been through a lot. Maybe they were bullied? Or the family gaslights them? But at the end of the day this is the sibling who asks out. Who rebels the most. Often they are used as the family’s ‘punching bag’. Often the family will shift its focus from the real issues to this child. The family priorities pointing out this child’s mistakes to the real issue. They are the child that the family reflects their insecurities onto. They get blamed for their family’s mistakes.

Shame she’s the scapegoat of the family

That poor kid has to put up with her family’s crap! What a scapegoat sibling.

scapegoating theory

The phenomenon where individuals and groups misdirect frustration and aggression, blaming a less powerful, innocent group for their own problems and failures instead of accepting responsibility.

The manager's Scapegoating Theory was evident when he blamed the interns for the project's failure instead of acknowledging his own mistakes.

Scapegoat

A person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others.

A project at a company fails due to poor management decisions, unrealistic timelines, and insufficient resources. Instead of the management taking responsibility for these systemic issues, they blame the project's lead developer for the poor code quality and missed deadlines, effectively using them as a scapegoat to avoid scrutiny of their own planning.
