... and some of the anti-psychiatrists had a similar view of mentally ill families/societies: often the most mentally healthy individual is scapegoated by the mentally ill family/society as a method of avoidance.

I told both my parents that in order for reconciliation to happens there needs to be acknowledgment that physical abuse took place in our house growing up.

Neither of my parents talk to me anymore.

I am also the youngest. I hold the highest level of education (MSc) yet I am treated as if everything I say holds no value or logic. I've come to terms that my family is extremely biased and unable to view any situation objectively. I dont enjoy being around them anymore.

We can't choose are families but we can walk away.

And enjoyed every moment of it as always told to “never let the f##kers get you down when you stand up for yourself!” Friends on the other hand...

shout the truth, but can you handle the truth when others speak it about you?
Doubt it.

I’m totally with you on this for iTunes and the family scapegoat. It’s been in 10 years in therapy to you understand my triggers. Finally figured out that my sister is a covert narcissist, and since then she continues to astound me with her ability to look and sound like a textbook narcissist. And she’s a social worker/counselor, but you’ll never be able to tell her she’s wrong. Two years ago I made the mistake of announcing that I would be going low or no contact with her and since then the doctors have been full throttle. All while my mother passed away, and my father is in declining health. It was a tactical error on my part as I didn’t fully understand what happens when you confront a narcissist. I do now. However with that said, when my father is ready to leave this world my connection to her will be finally and permanently severed, and I will no longer have to try for the sake of my parents. Better to go fully no contact as you could never live up to their expectations. It’s taken me years to realize how traumatized I was but my older sister, and the torture she put me through growing up. She has gaslighted me to every single one of her family, and to some of our extended family. I haven’t lost everybody, my father is equal parts scapegoat and idol for her, so she goes back-and-forth berating or elevating his and he is fully aware of this, but is afraid of her so he doesn’t rock the boat. I have given him the best advice possible which is to go along with things as best as possible but avoiding confronting her as it would make his last year‘s on this earth unbearable. Oh the nightmare stories I could tell but it’s a sad tale, and I am healing from it. I just wanted to show you my support because there are covert narcissists everywhere.

Yup, and I've cut out toxic people and reduced interactions significantly with family after being bullied, put down, gossiped about for years.

I can't stand two-faced people. My spirit irritates their demons as the saying goes.

"A goat sent into the wilderness after the Jewish chief priest had symbolically laid the sins of the people upon it." (Lev. 16)
In other words, blamed for everything and then kicked out.

Well, this little goat wandered all the way across the country to Vancouver, spent a year or so in therapy getting rid of the family sin-saddle, and I now have a much better life than do any of those wretched little shits I left behind.
Good riddance to them all , and Happy Pride to all of you!

The tied old self proclaimed monicker...I'm the black sheep of the family... is really just another way of saying I'm an asshole.
Take a look at real sheep. The black ones get along fine with white ones.
