Scapegoating in Narcissistic Families: Breaking the Chains of Blame

The scapegoat child is abused within their family of origin and this essentially grooms them to be targeted for abuse in adulthood.
Imagine growing up in a family where you're constantly blamed for everything that goes wrong. In this episode of 'Narcissistic Abuse Rehab', host Manya Wakefield dives deep into the toxic world of scapegoating within narcissistic families. She explains how children are often unfairly assigned the role of the scapegoat, especially when one or both parents have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. This isn't just about being blamed; it's about enduring emotional and sometimes physical abuse that can have lifelong consequences.
Wakefield sheds light on how these children are gaslit, ridiculed, and isolated, creating an environment that feels anything but safe. This conditioning can lead to dangerous tolerance for abusive behaviors in adulthood, making it hard for survivors to recognize coercive and controlling actions in their relationships. But it's not all doom and gloom. Wakefield offers practical advice and resources for breaking free from this cycle of abuse.
She emphasizes the importance of self-care and provides actionable steps for survivors to reclaim their lives. Whether you're someone who has experienced this firsthand or know someone who has, this episode is a must-listen. It's a blend of empathy, expertise, and hope, aimed at helping you understand and overcome the devastating effects of being the family scapegoat.
