Being the scapegoat in a narcissistic family isn’t just painful—it’s disorienting. In this episode of The Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Podcast, we explore the emotional toll of being unfairly blamed, chronically criticized, and cast aside by the very people who were supposed to protect you.

We examine:

• The emotional weight of being the family’s dumping ground for shame and dysfunction
• How isolation and exclusion reinforce feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt
• The danger of internalizing the family’s narrative—and how to begin rewriting your own
• Why healing from scapegoating is nonlinear, deeply personal, and often misunderstood
• What it means to reclaim your identity and walk away from roles you never chose

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like the “problem” in their family, who’s carried guilt that was never theirs, or who’s still untangling the emotional knots left behind. If you’ve been scapegoated, you are not alone—and your healing matters.
