How False Narratives Support Scapegoat Abuse

About the Damaging SCAPEGOAT NARRATIVE: Have you been harmed / traumatized in your family by a false 'scapegoat narrative' designed to denigrate your character? Rebecca C. Mandeville (Family Systems expert and author of 'Rejected, Shamed, and Blamed') describes the debilitating effects of being betrayed by family via deliberate character distortion, which interferes with the scapegoat child's ability to develop a healthy sense of self and trust in self and others. She also briefly reviews 'double binds' related to the family 'scapegoat narrative' and how to begin dis-identifying from 'the family lie' in a trauma-informed manner. See chapters and Trigger Warning, below.
