[quote=Anonymous]I am one of five siblings.  The three brothers were the golden children simply because they were boys.  My sister and I were less than second class citizens because we were girls.  But my sister (the invisible child) played the game with my narcissistic parent, as did my brothers.  I was the truth teller, the empath, the beauty, and the warrior.  My mother couldn't program me as she had her other childen.  Because she viewed me as a threat to everything that she was, she groomed me for failure and abused me terribly.  Eventually, she made multiple efforts to kill me.

Now, as to what happened to the golden children and the scapegoat?

My three brothers never did anything beyond leach off my father's legacy.  They failed at pretty much everything:  one a habitual drug addict, one a gambler who lost everything, and one who became a carpenter and handyman.  My sister couldn't hold a job down but married a successful man.

I was the scapegoat, cursed from birth, and ground beneath my family's feet my entire life.  Yet, I was the most successful of all my siblings.  Turned out I was also the smartest, most talented and gifted, and most accomplished.

They failed.  I did not.[/quote]
