In this episode, the team jumps into the fifth and final installment of looking at dysfunctional families and how they affect a survivor from healing from sexual abuse. Children in dysfunctional families develop survival roles. These roles are either assigned by the family or unconsciously chosen by the child. A few examples are: Scapegoat—usually blamed for family problems; Hero—works hard to bring respect to the family name; Surrogate Spouse—often takes the place of the emotionally absent spouse and becomes the child counselor for a troubled adult parent; Lost child—never gets in the way or causes trouble because this family already has enough problems; Surrogate parent—takes over responsibility of parenting tasks; Clown—avoids the pain by being the center of attention. When you think about healing from sexual abuse, it’s important to know what effect your role(s) in the family had/have upon how you coped with being sexual abuse.
