She Needed a Villain, So She Chose You: Escaping the Family Scapegoat Role
Description
In toxic family systems, someone always has to carry the blame, and if you were the family scapegoat, that someone was probably you.
In this episode of The Mother Wound Project Podcast, Tandi exposes the truth behind scapegoating in emotionally immature and narcissistic families. You’ll learn how mothers offload their shame, guilt, and insecurity onto one child, the truth teller, the sensitive one, the empath, and why you were never the problem.
✨ In this episode, we’ll cover:
- What scapegoating looks like in emotionally immature and narcissistic family systems.
- Why daughters become the “identified problem” or “too sensitive one.”
- The painful psychological effects that carry into adulthood, self-doubt, guilt, and feeling like you don’t belong.
- Real-life examples from Tandi’s story that show how this dynamic plays out in families.
- How to heal from being scapegoated through inner child work, hypnotherapy, and nervous system regulation.
You’ll walk away understanding the psychology behind scapegoating, how to set boundaries with flying monkeys, and the exact tools to reclaim your truth, your voice, and your peace.
