@hyntramind: Are You The Family Scapegoat? In dysfunctional family systems, one person can sometimes become the target of disproportionate blame or criticism.

Repeated unfair blame, double standards, exclusion, and punishment for speaking up can be important warning signs. #familypsychology #familydysfunction #psychologyfacts #boundaries #America
