[quote=Anonymous]I'm the scapegoat. I have the best marriage of all of my siblings, and am the most professionally and financially successful. I still struggle with an eating disorder and some depression. I have had a lot of therapy. The Golden Child was gay in college but is now married to a woman who appears to be a gold digger. My parents are subsidizing his lifestyle and will openly admit that "she will leave him if she doesn't get the things she wants." His kids appear to dislike him. Honestly I feel sorry for him. I recently heard the term 'emotionally illiterate.' He doesn't seem to have the skills to be a good partner, to know who he is and to articulate and follow his own dreams and desires, or to be a good father. I like to think that I am breaking the cycle of abuse and dysfunction with my own family. He appears to be passing it along for his kids to deal with. I wish them luck.[/quote]
