[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who has been treated very badly by her family in ways that sound unbelievable had I not seen suxh things myself. She is finally starting to see she needs to stop trying to make them be reasonable and needs to cut them out of her life- these are siblings.

I wanted my friend to know she is not alone, and it did not take much googling to find this

There are also scholarly articles on scapegoating in families, and it can be very sinisiter stuff with children being physically abused and all sorts of horrors. The situation my friend is experiencing is as an adult, seemigly after the death of her father some 15 years ago.

One sister, for example, took control of their elderly mothers finances, sold her house, moved her to an assisted living facility, and never informs my friend of her mothers health status, what happened to te sale money from the house. etc. My friend is the only one who drives out of state to visit her mother and talks to her every day. But her mother is too befuddled and confused to be able to tell her what is happening.

Anyone got some stories to share?[/quote]
