[quote=Anonymous]The dynamic when we were growing up with a personality-disordered parent was my older sister was the scapegoat and brother was the golden child. I, the middle child, probably had the easiest time in avoiding her attention and venom. My sister and I always distracted our mother when she was losing it with the other child. So, the roles varied sometimes. My sister carries a lot of baggage, and is the only one still in contact with our mother. My brother loves with me, and still hasn’t launched, even as he pushes 40. I did learn that being either scapegoat or golden child are their own kinds of abuse and hell. We are all damaged, but not all in the same way. We are all close. [/quote]
