As a fellow adult child of a narcissist, I know first hand what a complete shitstorm this time of year can be. It can be really challenging to keep your boundaries when the manipulation tactics are in full force. It’s important to know what to look out for, and stay grounded in reality when this happens to prevent any disappointment when the cycle of abuse inevitably repeats if you give in to your narc parent’s demands for supply and attention. This is why each year I host a holiday workshop for the family scapegoat. If you want to… ✅ Start setting or stick to your low or no contact boundaries with narcissistic or toxic family members this year ✅ Gain tools to be able to deal with the narcissist at the family dinner if low/no contact isn't possible for you at this time ✅ Learn how to release the emotions of guilt and shame that narcissists use to try and control their targets ✅ Understand how to deal with people who say "FaMiLy iS eVeRyThInG" and have no real understanding that for some people, family is a great source of damage to their sense of self and ability to feel safe in the world But you don’t ❌ Know if you have the courage to set or keep boundaries, and are afraid of a potential smear campaign ❌ Want to waste more time on strategies that don't work ❌ Think it will be as bad this year, maybe the narcissist in your family changed and will keep being nice to you moving forward? ❌ Know where to start or if it's possible to get through the next couple of weeks as un-triggered as possible Then Surviving the Holidays When You're the Family Scapegoat is perfect for you! The workshop is happening LIVE this Friday at 12:00 pm EST (replay access will be available for 90 days if you can’t make it live), so make sure you register before then so you can secure your spot! Register today for only $57 (or included in tier 2 of my community membership!) at the link in my bio!🔥🔥🔥 #Narcissisticmother #daughtersofnarcissisticmothers #adultchildrenofnarcissists #scapegoat #blacksheepofthefamily #blacksheep #manipulators #estranged #motherwound #cyclebreakers #dysfunctionalfamily #narcissisticabuserecovery #redflags #toxicmother #toxicfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbXMX5sRoX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Being The Black Sheep

"In the English language, black sheep is an idiom that describes a member of a group who is different from the rest, especially a family member who does not fit in. The term stems from sheep whose fleece is colored black rather than the more common white; these sheep stand out in the flock and their wool is worth less as it will not dye.” – Wikipedia

I was the black sheep it turns out. Being born with a physical, mental, and emotional disability, meant I didn’t fit. Automatic disqualification. It’s not that we want to be different, but society views 'difference' differently and that has a bearing on 'family.'

Examples of the Black sheep

For me being the black sheep turned out to be a curse more than a blessing because me and my disability were ignored. Other black sheep examples include, a tomboy, a child with spunk. A geeky child, an academic child, a child that’s small, or one that's too tall, or a child that is overweight. The irony is that a child that is the black sheep, becomes the adult who continues to be the black sheep. Like all titles, it tends to stick like mud, no matter how many times you try to unstick yourself.

Mental rejection

I have experienced mental rejection and that has continued throughout my adult life. I was made to feel excluded, marginalised, isolated and alone. For anyone experiencing being the black sheep, it’s very real and can be incredibly difficult and traumatic. The people you expect to support and who should want to support you, don’t. Those who should understand you and what you deal with, your perspective, don’t.

Being the Black Sheep can be incredibly traumatic

The experience of being the black sheep is very real and can be incredibly traumatic. The people you expect to know you, don’t. The people who should want to understand your perspective, don’t. This trauma often lasts a lifetime, even if contact with the family of origin has been cut.

My mom...

From October 2011-March 2012 my mom suffered from 3 strokes. I’ve taken care of my mom since my parents divorced when I was 13. My brother went to live with my dad and was scarce in our lives. So again, I’m left alone to take care of my mom after the strokes and I have a toddler as well. The third one almost took her from us. That was the worst day of my life. My mom was my best friend. She was all I had in this world, besides my son. Then her brother comes in out of nowhere and takes me to court for guardianship over her and wins because, as a single mom, now on my own, I couldn’t take time off to go to the court hearing. Again, there goes my life... moms in a coma for 6 months. I’m not allowed to see her cuz they blame me for what happened. Why am I even still alive at this point? Anyway, a little back story to preface my next statement:

My mom recently got an FB after being discharged from the assisted living facility she’s resided in for 7 years against my recommendation and moved into her own apartment in our old hometown. I was excited. I added her as soon as I found out. Ive tagged her in posts and posted pictures and messaged her on FB. Nothing. My brother tho? She comments on everything of his. I’m at a loss... I’m hurt. Even now to this day, he’s still the favorite... hooray for being the black sheep. Fml. 😕

🖤🐑 I think this is spot on. Sadly, being the Black Sheep of the family is always a nice feeling. I still like the dance to the beat of my own drum though. #blacksheepofthefamily #brutalhonesty #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/CNp0dVDLJIn/?igshid=1gn84cq890ssp
