This was a typical day of life in my household. As I was always and forever the go-to for store errands and everything else that nobody else wanted to do or get involved with. Dad always had a list as long as his arm and leg combined, but would never give me the complete list so I could get it...

A quick "joke": Q: What happens when a child is raised "like a mushroom" by a narcissistic mother and an emotionally absent father? A: By the time he's done high school He's become nothing but a fool Laughing stock for all, now just a tool A young man who is seriously not cool Note: "raised...

That nice living standard we had back in the city fell to a new abysmal low after we settled in that little mining town and Dad’s business partnership failed so soon after. I was 13 when we made that big move a full day’s drive away from the city we left behind, along with all that it promised...

I think my mother is a NARCISSIST! That seems to explain the wonky dynamics I grew up with and as scapegoat / lost child I was the target of incredibly evil actions on her part. Maybe I'll find it me to forgive her one day. When her time comes I will not shed a tear. I now realize it's...

First, I am the eldest, the scapegoat / lost child, and Asperger-autistic. 2nd in line is the brother who became the hero taking on responsibility as if he was the father of the household. Because Dad himself was the living epitome of irresponsibility and such an idiot, Mom felt it fit to...

(Note: I’m the Scapegoat / Lost Child and Asperger-autistic) Sven and I had a long history together as high school chums and although both of us were finished with it some years prior, we continued to correspond and sometimes go fishing. If there was any social group in that little mining town...

Hello all and TY for allowing me to join. I am in my mid-50's and dealing now with the things we neither had knowledge for nor the clarity in those long past times. It is only now after several years of counseling that I have begun to see the enormous unfairness brought on to me in my...
