Scapegoats Are The Healthy Ones

Are you the family scapegoat? Are you punished for telling the truth in a dysfunctional family? Although it may not feel like it, truthtellers and scapegoats are healthy. It is unhealthy to deny the truth, suppress it, and run from it. On the other hand, truthtellers and scapegoats can't help but see the truth. However, when you are born to emotionally immature parents, narcissistic or alcoholic parents, you might be punished for being a truthteller and become the family scapegoat.

I’m on my healing journey . My heart is in pieces as I heal from being the scapegoat in my family.

I've been the scapegoat plenty of times but this time it's most painful. I am cut off from my son and grandchildren. Your talks have been helping me, to feel less alone and understand what's happening for my family.

Thank you 🙏 again 💛

i love how you speak the truth. amen sistah ♥️🕊️🤍♥️🕊️🤍♥️🕊️🤍♥️🕊️🤍

Lisa I always turn to you for answers. 🙏💕✨

You’re telling my story. Thank God for recovery. I look forward to hearing more from you!

I really relate to this & now I understand why I have never felt like I belonged or was accepted in my family. Thank you.

This helped me so much … in the middle of the night with the awfulness of the latest ‘challenge’ spinning round my brain.
Thankyou

Lisa, once again, thank you so much for this episode!! Thank you for putting words and perspective to my feelings. Thank you for this validation and reminder that I am in reality, I am taking responsibility and healing my wounds, I am powerful, and I am free. Thank you so much!!

Thank you for this series on the truth teller! I see how I was and am that person. Definitely not accepted in a huge family that no one wanted to hear or felt was needed. You have given me the wisdom to reinforce my ability to speak up about how I feel and mean it. Mostly to my self. Love this confirmation. We have to act on our power and know we absolutely have every right to do so. Some days it’s baby steps. Healing from codependency is confusing and twisted. However your words bring me back to what’s truth and what’s programming. I am forever grateful for your work Lisa, your struggles and your warrior of self love make it doable for many. This is solid. A rock to come back too and a fountain of living waters. 🙏❤️👍

This has been the most powerful talk yet, Lisa. Discernment. If you acknowledge something, you have a responsibility to react and then you have to own and honor yourself through your choice of how you react. And that can be hard. Which is why sometimes avoidance is easier than conversation. You have inspired a lot of fantastic thought about how we all show up and invest energy. Thank you.

Very grateful for these talks 🙏

Soooo grateful for u. I’m a truth teller and was the scapegoat. It’s like listening to myself when u talk. Thankful for my healing life shifting work …I wouldn’t want it any other way. It’s a road of alone often but I’m content and happy I live in my truth and joy. Would love to have a truth tellerfriend but until then, I’m this to myself. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just what I needed to hear today and maybe every day!

This was very much my origin and I feel so grateful to hear this affirmation of my being. I needed the reinforcement to help me keep on telling the truth and not selling out and letting another person beat (emotionally) the truth out of me through their fear of themselves. It feels so bad to not have heard this sooner as I grieve for all those bad choices I made because I was trained to not trust myself. It hurts, but it’s setting me free.

I’m the truth teller in my family!! Better late than never! 💜

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and truth. Your words have helped me grow, move on with love and compassion. I’ve spent a lifetime personally and professionally trying to make others understand how I see things. I don’t need to do this anymore and I feel finally feel the freedom and peace I’ve been seeking, most of the time ✨💛🌙

Truthtellers and the exact narrative I experienced. 🙏
