Rerelease The Role of the Scapegoat

In this release episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with author, journalist, educational writer, coach, and survivor Julie L. Hall about scapegoating in narcissistic and dysfunctional family systems. Julie breaks down how family roles form, including the scapegoat, golden child, hero, mascot, and lost child, and why the scapegoated child often carries the blame, shame, and emotional projections of the narcissistic parent. She explains how scapegoats can be targeted for speaking the truth, questioning the family narrative, protecting others, or simply reflecting something the parent cannot face in themselves.
