Being treated differently than everyone else—and not in a good way. Always being “wrong”—even when you are right. No one taking your side even when you’re right or you have been harmed in some way. Being left out of family news/gossip/events. No one calling you—unless they want to get information from you. No one sharing good news in the family such as weddings and birth announcements. Not receiving invitations to weddings, family reunions, etc. Not getting any phone calls or cards on your birthday or holidays. People spend far less time or money on you than they do other people they care about. You are not given an equal share. You are given less than others. No one cares about your needs, wants, and feelings. You feel as if you just can’t win with these people (the ones who are scapegoating you) and you would be better off without them in your life.
