[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone had others join their relatives in making you a scapegoat? When my sister in law married my brother, she started agreeing with everything he said about me. [/quote]

Oh absolutely. No one tries to dig up new unflattering tidbits about me, and then passes them on to relatives she knows will play dirty with them, quite like my sister in law. She's just trying to let everyone know how horrible I am, in case the others who already pegged me as the scapegoat ever started to change their mind. Nice people, the whole bunch.[/quote]

But WHY? The satisfaction?[/quote]

Because she’s screwed up and can’t even begin to deal with her own crap and maladaptively copes but making life bad for others. There are also absolutely shallow “wins” in these sorts of family games — people are playing for money, attention, inheritance, acceptance, etc, and some people will chase after those things at someone else’s expense if that’s what they think they need to do.
