[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so frustrating and sad that parents treat children this way. I can't imagine ever treating my children like this. [/quote] It's not always intentional. I had a parent that became seriously ill when I was born, and that's how I became the Identified Patient for my family. All these abrupt changes created a big bang in our family dynamics. It's also not necessarily malice on part of the parents - sometimes they do what they need to cope with stressful times. And a lot of the hurtful "scapegoat" type stuff comes from existing siblings, and carries on into adulthood because the patterns set in motion are very difficult to break. Also, I don't think parents are even aware of this. They, like you, may think they're great parents. If you're in the system, it's really hard to see the dysfunction. [/quote]
