    It’s a scapegoat aka the identified patient aka the truth teller. The family is highly dysfunctional and instead of addressing the actual problem, they attack the person in the family who talks about the problem (truth teller)… making them the problem instead. Projection. Booyah. The only way to win is to distance yourself from them. They’ll see the light when pigs fly.

      This is me exactly. I just finished typing a comment as to why I was black sheeped in my family.

      One thousand percent it was because I was and always will be, a truth teller.

      It terrified my shit bag family.
