S2 E2. Scapegoats - the 3 words you must know.
from Road Least Travelled - A journey of the Soul · host Zhang Su Li
Scapegoats, you’ve spent most of your life wondering if your dysfunctional family and extended family members know what’s going on. You’ve done your best to please them to no avail. You start to believe that you’re the toxic, mean spirited, selfish, narcissistic and shameful failure that they see you as. So you set out to heal yourself. To become a better person. You search online, you go into forums, you binge watch videos, and consume articles, and finally learn that you’re the family scapegoat. Your family fits perfectly into the model narcissistic family dynamics. You discover that the narcissist of the family is like a cult leader. And everyone else - the enablers and flying monkeys - all toe the line because they’ve been trained to abuse the scapegoat and to project their shame and guilt onto the scapegoat. You get excited about your new discovery. You want to share it. You want to wake up the enablers and flying monkeys so they know they’ve been brainwashed, and their entire lives are based on lies. You want to help them. You discover that most of them already know. And some don't want to know. Here's your 3-word answer - They don't care. They have a lot to gain by staying in the dysfunctional dynamic because they are richly rewarded by the narcissist. So they push you out, ostracize you, the scapegoat, to get more rewards. If the narcissist is old, the enablers and flying monkeys will be eyeing your share of the inheritance. As the family scapegoat, you are the only one who can see that no amount of money dangled at you is worth your sanity, mental or spiritual wellbeing. #familyscapegoat #narcissisticfamily #narcissisticabuse #inheritance #scapegoatinheritance #enablers #flyingmonkeys #narcissisticfamilycult #cults #scapegoating #brainwashing #spiritualawakening #spirituality #scapegoatawakening #blacksheep #covertnarcissist #overtnarcissist #ego #control #scapegoatdestiny
