Asking for a friend, if they wanted to play games, wouldn’t befriending and getting closer to the golden child be, although evilish lol, kind of effective for the scapegoat? After all, division is the narc’s main tool. lol am I becoming a dark empath? I mean is my friend becoming one?😂😂😂

I have been all the roles ...😅. Scapegoat to overachiever parentified golden child to truth teller due to my work and back to scapegoat when I challenged the system 🙃

I was the golden child in my home who went no contact at 18 and happily never looked back! 16 years later and finally going through EDMR therapy.

In our narcissistic family system of abuse, the roles are all interchangeable. My mom will just swap out roles like a casting director in a movie playing in her head.

My husband was a GC. He gave up that role. DARVO, brutal smear campaign, character assasination of us both. We moved across country from them.

Golden child turned scapegoat as an adult, gone low contact for my sanity. Scapegoat child is the new golden child and under her control. No role is good.

It’s me. And… I decided to not do it anymore. I didn’t even choose to be the favorite. My father just kept it all up.

No contact means just that. Block everyone attached to the toxic family. Been years and I’m happy

My Golden Child Step sister started abusing our narcissistic mom - I was there to do the right thing, cause it gets criminal. 2 years after I went no contact I found out she kicked her out from home in a foreign country from her husband.

Plus, the golden child knows all the secrets. ☺️Although, as you mentioned, the tools of the machine are then aimed at them, putting them in the role of scapegoat.

I learned about the term “low effort family” which feels similar in concept to “narcissistic family” but the behavior is different where maybe narcissistic family fits more of an anxious attachment behavior profile (stalking, harassment) where and the low effort family fits the avoidant attachment behavior profile (they just disappear). Could you talk about that ? You’re really insightful and curious how you think about it
