[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh. We had a golden child and the scapegoat. I think a lot of scapegoats don’t realize that sometimes it really is something they’re doing. My sibling was an incredibly hard child to raise- wild, didn’t follow rules, they slept little, never did chores. It actually made me into the golden child. It was no fun being the golden child. I have a lot of anxiety and never felt like I could let me parents down. I was always performing and had to be perfect. My parents often cried about my sibling and I had to pickup the slack. I didn’t get much attention. Oh and I had to do all their chores which I’m still bitter about.

I wonder sometimes if my sibling had been more easy going if my life would have been easier too. As it stands I’m still picking up their slack- now just with elder care for our parents. [/quote]

Read Adult Children Secrets of Dysfunctional Families. Golden children, heroes, rebels, addicts, lost children, peacemakers, caretakers and scapegoats etc.,  don't occur in nondysfunctional families. It is caused by the lack of a healthy relationship between the parents. There is usually generational dysfunction from the grandparents. [/quote]
