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.
