À propos de cet audio

 In this episode of The Family Scapegoat Chronicles, Elle Boone breaks down what family scapegoating really is, not just the buzzword, but the hidden family system behind it. She explains how one person becomes the “identified patient,” why families assign blame to a single member, and how that dynamic keeps deeper issues safely buried. This conversation brings language, insight, and validation to the experience of being unfairly cast as “the problem.” Whether you’ve lived this dynamic or are trying to understand it for the first time, this episode gives you clarity and compassion in equal measure. 💬 What You’ll Hear A clear definition of family scapegoating The meaning of the “identified patient” in family systems therapy Common ways scapegoating shows up in daily life Why this pattern isn’t about you — it’s about avoidance and projection How naming it is the first step toward stepping out of it 💡 Quote “Every family tells a story — but you don’t have to keep playing the role they wrote for you.” 🤝 Perfect For Anyone who suspects they’ve been scapegoated by their family, or who wants to understand the hidden rules that kept them stuck in a role that was never theirs. 🔗 Connect 🌐 thefamilyscapegoatchronicles.com 📩 familyscapegoating@gmail.com ☕ Support the show ⚠️ Content Notice Discussions include abuse and trauma.

It takes authorship. It's messy, and it's gradual. Some days you grow, some days you just maintain, and some days the win is that you're still here, breathing, trying, choosing yourself again and again. But the real shift comes when we name what actually happened to us, because language is power. The more words we have for these patterns, the more we can rewrite our story. We're not here to bash our families. We're here to rebuild ourselves, one day at a time, slowly and deliberately. And today, we are starting at the beginning. What is family scapegoating? That's what we're talking about in this episode. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but sometimes it just leaves scars. Welcome to The Family Scapegoat Chronicles, a podcast for the silent survivors, quiet rebels, and generational cycle breakers. I'm your host, Elle Boone, fellow scapegoat and reluctant expert in family dysfunction. If you've spent years holding space for others while quietly unraveling in the pantry, you're in the right place. Done playing small to keep the peace? Good. Now it's time to take up space. So grab your favorite emotional support snack and let's get to work. All right, welcome back. We are into episode two. Last time we talked about slowing down your healing journey. Today, we're getting clear on what family scapegoating actually is so you can really understand and name what's been happening to you. In this episode, I want you to walk away with a deeper understanding of the behaviors you've been subjected to through this family scapegoating and also to know that none of this was your fault. So let's start with what family scapegoating is not. It is no picnic. No friends, it is no picnic. As you well know, family scapegoating empties the sweetness out of living. It replaces connection with silence, belonging with exile, and leaves you weary down to your soul. It's isolating, it's confusing, and honestly, it's exhausting. It's family moments that should feel warm but instead leave you walking on eggshells. It's birthdays where air feels heavy instead of joyful. And it's holidays remembered more for the arguments than the connection. Scapegoating becomes part of the family pattern, repeated over and over. So, before we go any further, I want you to just pause for a moment and just take a deep breath. And just know, in this role, carrying the weight, taking the blame, the rejection, everything that goes with this experience, this trauma, I want you to know that just by naming it, you are beginning to put it down so you can finally start to heal. The term scapegoat comes straight out of the Bible. In Leviticus, the community would symbolically place all their sins onto a goat and then send that out into the wilderness. It was basically, here, goat, you carry our mess so we don't have to. That's the ...
