I blocked my youngest sister 4 years ago because she's a drunk who has physically attacked me many times and only wants to call me to talk when she's crying in her beer. Then I blocked my oldest sister last year because she is conniving and untrustworthy. At 70 years old now, I finally realized I don't have to deal with them anymore. I am the scapegoat.

I also had to get away from 2 siblings, older brother and younger sister, because of their toxicity.

I am only seeing my siblings at showers, weddings and funerals. I’m the oldest scapegoat of our narcissistic deceased father. My two younger siblings have followed in his footsteps. I’m in therapy to recover from all the trauma created by my family of origin.

Bad parenting (e.g. neglectful, narcissistic) is often the root cause of negative sibling relationships. Specifically, parents need to supervise and monitor children so that they can recognize address any bad behavior/bullying instead of neglecting, overlooking it, or giving bad examples themselves. (It isn't having siblings that is the problem. My dad had 5 siblings and they had a beautiful and loving relationship through their lives and into old age.)

I'm the oldest of 6. There are narcissists, malignants, macaveilism, borderlines, and what I just learned, possibly a dark empath. I've gone no contact because of the toxicity. But they've done their damage. But as the scapegoat, I'm learning to find my joy in me becoming my family's Escape goat. Amen!!

I was in therapy for about 12 years , not having much progress until I started watching narcissism channels on KZbin. This is where I finally "got" that it wasn't me. It was my alcoholic father and my narcissistic mother. And now my narcissistic sisters. They seemed to have taken turns being the golden child because my mother even played them against each other. What a mess! I'm glad to be out of it. I wish you all the best from Louisiana ♡

Narcissistic siblings use reactive abuse as weapons against you. They do demonic tactics that cause an emotional outbursts and response. Thats why being logical and sensible helps. Respond don't react. They feed off of emotions. Respond do not react. They want to project their insecurities and failures onto you so you can be their hostage and prisoner. Dont be a skave to your emotions. If you cant respond without reaction silence speaks volumes. Silence is saying something without even uttering a word or just laugh. Distance breeds respect

Thank You so much Tamara ❤ This Amazing video has caused a major breakthrough for me. I knew I had done nothing to my troubled sibling. She looked up to me until she turned 17. Up to that point, she imitated everything I did from hairstyle, clothing, personality, hobbies etc. I just knew we were going to be close for life. Shortly before she turned 16, I noticed our mom & her becoming closer. She began to imitate our mom. She slowly distanced herself from me. I already knew at an early age ( 6), that something was off with our mom. The more time my sibling spent with our mom, they became more alike towards me ( hostile, aggressive, incredible arrogance, competitive, telling lies on me, and other negative traits) She turned against me. She & our mom became a vicious team against me. Of the 6 girls, ppl didn't hesitate to say I am " the pretty one". My sibling heard this about me for most of her life. It never seemed to bother her until she became 17 & had became our mom's best friend. The 2 of them nearly drove me to suicide because the bullying, plotting, scheming, character assassination was too much. Once, someone told her she looked like me when she copied my hairstyle. Her reply: " I AM BB". Whenever someone would compliment me in front of her or mom, they'd become angry. She would pull me aside and say..." I'M Number 1". Yrs later, the disturbing things she did & said made my life a living nightmare. I was out of contact with her yrs ago. When I saw her again one day, she had the same coat and gloves I had on and she worked across the street from me. It is creepy. I quit my job when I found out she was stalking me. I am no contact now for over a year. But this video brought back EVERY disastrous moment from being in that household with her & my scheming hateful mother. I feel sorry for my sibling after watching your powerful video. It is mainly our cruel mom's fault. She never liked or loved me & enjoyed insulting me and being cruel. No matter what I did, she never had a good thing to say about me. Thank You...I really feel better and can see our mom for the mean lady she is.

I couldn’t even attend my Mom’s funeral because my demon child brother gets triggered when he sees me. His 3 daughters also didn’t attend. His youngest daughter hasn’t had contact with him for 12 years. He could teach the master class in narcissism. All thanks to my Mom. What a mess. I’m so thankful your channel popped up in my feed.

@armyofone13 10 ай бұрын

My family is pretty dysfunctional but we’ve managed to maintain peace and there has been no major issues over the past 10 or so years. But that’s bc we all live in separate states. My oldest sister is the dark one, and I have fawned her for years. Survivorship plain and simple. For years now I’ve recognized that once my mother dies, my sister is going to unleash her next wave of toxicity. She’s morbidly jealous of me, histrionic, immature, paranoid and a perpetual victim. 😢

@TherapistTamaraHill 10 ай бұрын

That's such a blessing that you've had peace for that long --- which, as you point out, is most likely managed by the distance everyone is at. My family is the same way. My best "advice" to you is to come up with a plan now, before your mom leaves, and figure out the role you will and will not play at that time. You may also want to talk to your mother about what she wants too so that you can determine where you need to be. I'm sorry to hear this. Believe it or not, you are not alone in this dilemma.

Ms. Hill, Another excellent and real topic. Sadly, I have had this experience with older siblings and found it confusing. They lived to torture and undermine me at every turn. I did survive and while I excelled in some areas of my life, I had self-esteem and problems with relationships. I was blessed with psychotherapy for about 15 years with the same therapist! I continue to do well professionally today!

My parents adopted me so my sister wouldn’t be alone. They did not adopt me just because they wanted another child. My sister was adopted, too. She told lies to my parents about me, accusing me of doing things that she was actually doing, herself. My parents never trusted me because of that. My family was so toxic … I was the black sheep because I distanced myself from them.

I’m the middle child of three brothers. My older brother is essentially a bum who was spoon fed everything. My younger brother was the “baby” he was always forgiven. I was never given a chance, I was made to feel like a failure. My brothers would also look down on me because they were empowered by favoritism. I decided to go my own way. I haven’t talked to them in years and you can guess who they label as a bad person for not communicating. But I have the most important thing in life, peace and happiness.

Retrowoman80, as someone with only one sibling, a sister, I bought into the little house on the prarie fantasy that some day my sister would give a hoot. Sisters can be indifferent also. Letting go of toxic hope that someday she would see my as a person has been a key part of my healing. Good luck with your healing, you're worth it whether your siblings see it or not.

My mother used to casually talk about how my older brother set my crib on fire. When I was 5-9 he used to love to put me in a sleep hold and I'd ended up passed out. Whe I was 11, he tried to rape me and when I tried to tell, nobody believed me. And when I got older my mother told me to " Get over it. He was a teenaged boy. Boys will be boys" I suspect my brother has been molesting me when I was a baby too. Same brother tried to strangle me when I was 19, because " I talked back" when he was starting his mess. My mother knows it all and thensome. But somehow it's always been my fault.

My older brother is called a sociopath by many people. I witnessed and experienced violence from him. When I disclosed my family seemed against me and used my disclosure to negatively frame my character. They particularly used my disclosure to leave me out of the loop when my mother died because she encouraged my brother to assault me. I was treated as more problematic for disclosing abuse

@TherapistTamaraHill 10 ай бұрын

I'm sorry. Sometimes when people do discuss the dark secrets of the family (abuse, affairs, etc.), the family will turn on you because you are no longer "with them" but rather, "against them."

My twin sister is a sadist. She has been nothing but dark and weird my whole life. I have no contact with her now. But it was like having someone for no reason try and erase me. She was perpetually scheming and doing things to harm me. I had barely even comprehended the first thing before she would move onto something else. One of the schemes she did was to damage property. Lke wooden furniture , she would ruin things like my dads desk in his study. It looked like a pit bull had gone at it. She would do it at night and when my dad discovered the damage in the morning. Due to the damage being in the form of my intials chiseled into the wood repeatedly, different sizes and ad-hoc pattern. My father would go straight to my bedroom and drag me out of bed. I would be woken up by ny skull bouncing off the floor. Repeated blows as i would be dragged to the scene of the damage. Which i was seeing for the first time. Would be continued to be beat whilst demanded to know why i did it. Of which i couldn't answer because i didn't. I was seven years old, she had many different ways to turn my dad into a weapon. This went on for years. Through out my first decade of life. She turned both parents against me. Would humiliate me public every opportunity. Try and destroy every relationship in my world. It was like she never had 5 minutes off. When she wasn't enacting one of her grand designs i would get the feeling she was brooding and planning it. It was weird it was like having an active enemy that i couldn't fall asleep around. She wanted to be a boy, there was this aspect were i think she envied my biology sex. She was jealous of not my relationship with my dad because it was never good. But she envied the position of a son. She wanted to be a son. She eviscerated me from my own life. I have no relationship with any family member. She has never left the family home. We are both 44 now. She is like a baby bird that hasn't left the nest. She has my mum wrapped around her finger. She manipulates the entire narrative. Completely controlling. It's like being trapped in a self serving fantasy narrative were she is the writer, director and main star. She has never felt like a real human being to me. I was 30 the last grand design she did on our birthday publicly at a big extended family gathering. After that i walked away from the family. I am the black sheep in my family.
