Are You The Family Scapegoat?: How to stop being the Family Scapegoat in your adult years by removing yourself as the "target" of your abusive, ... of origin and finding peace in your life.

This book is an important book for those who have discovered that they are the Family Scapegoats in their family of origin and who in their adulthood years find that the abuse they suffered as a child has continued into their adulthood where they are still being slandered, ostracized, and treated with a lack of love and respect by those very same families, who should be the ones who love them the most. They may also find themselves in an abusive marriage or relationship as adults. In fact, they may be a victim of domestic violence, suffering verbal, mental, emotional and even physical abuse and realize that they are being scapegoated all over again. Finding themselves in constant "no win" situations with their narcissistic family members they are desperate to find answers to this puzzling dilemma and are searching for peace in their lives from the constant abuse from their parents, siblings and other relatives who always blame them for all the problems within the family. Patricia Jones, M.A has written this book as a witness and testimony of being the Scapegoat in her own family of origin and how she came to understand that there is an "evil pattern of narcissism and psychopathological abuse" that creates a favorite "golden child" sibling and a scapegoated child within these dysfunctional families. This dynamic sets them up for abusive relationships later on in life. Patricia Jones, M.A. states: "If you are anything like me you have experienced some major challenges in your life. Looking back, I am very thankful for the challenges I have overcome. I learned a great deal from them and would like to share what I have learned with others who find themselves labeled as the "Family Scapegoat" in their own families. Patricia Jones, M.A. explains how those who are family scapegoats can remove themselves as the family "target" by once and for all realizing that the problems within their families are caused by their families not them. They discover that their family is very dysfunctional and that they are not the cause of all the relationship problems within the family, as they have been led to believe. With this realization a huge weight is lifted off their shoulders and they can finally continue on with their lives without guilt or remorse and find love and peace, sometimes for the first time in their lives. The "root cause" of how and why Family Scapegoats are created and the solution to how to stop the generational cycle of abuse that runs in these families is the main message of the book.
