Mirror Of Myself.

I found this on Quora  and it perfectly describes how my toxic family treats me. Just substitute "siblings" in this piece with "husband, mother, and children" and then you have an exact description my toxic family..

Trust me, if you are truly the family Scapegoat, you won't have to ask!

You'll know by how they all (mis) treat you.

They may gang up on you and/or blame you for things that have nothing to do with you. They will most likely talk about you behind your back and you'll be shown glimpses of this because they want you to know. It's evil in the making. If you have siblings, you'll see how they are pampered and catered to and, well, you just aren't. You fend for yourself. They might speak to each other, and not include you in plans or conversation. You'll be the last to know about everything that goes on and you may even find out they had dinner plans but didn't include you. There will be an endless list of excuses as to why you are excluded.

They'll always have a reason to be upset with you, even if you did nothing at all. They might even make shit up and gaslight you. They might seem to enjoy toying with your mind and seeing you upset.

No! It isn't your imagination! Be real with yourself with what you are seeing. Seeing is believing, afterall..

You will feel lonely in your own home with your family. You'll feel like an outsider. They want you to know where you rank within your family, but they will deny it if you asked them. It's just another opportunity to screw with your head.

My advice is to plan your future with little or no contact. It is the only way you will have a shot at a real life. Trust me, I know., I've been no contact 8 years.
