@secondstorymegan: One of the hardest parts of being a Sacrificial Target is that you often don’t realize it’s happening while you’re living it. You assume the problem must be you. So you work harder. Explain more. Change more. Try harder to fit in. But toxic groups don’t reduce tension by solving problems. They reduce tension by assigning them. That’s why the role can survive every version of you. Having language for the dynamic doesn’t change the past, but it can change what happens next. Once you understand the pattern, you can stop carrying responsibility that was never yours to begin with. Not every group is healthy enough to grow with you. Some only function as long as someone is carrying the blame. Distance isn’t always avoidance. Sometimes it’s clarity. For those currently in the dynamic or if you have a loved one going through it, I've written a few things down that might help. https://robmob2013.gumroad.com/l/wlxmat
