[quote=Anonymous]In my family, the golden child (middle child) developed a martyr personality. They put themselves on a pedestal for doing the perfect thing (which isn't always true in actuality), projects a lot of their unresolved issues onto others, and then tends to overcompensate while also having unrealistic expectations of others. It's a tangled mess. They are an image of success in many ways, but very broken internally. My sister is the golden child, and I don't know if she molded herself to position herself in that roll to appeal to our dad, or if our dad saw relatable qualities and "chose" her, because she reminded him of himself. I was the black sheep. I fought myself out of that role mostly because I no longer ascribe to the projection or trying to appeal to others. I just do me, as long as I harm no one.[/quote]
