Psychology # 24 : Golden Child (Hero)

 

 

In any dysfunctional family, if there’s a scapegoat, there will be a golden child.

 

When I was young, I was not understand / confused, how come my younger sister can do whatever she liked, go to school, enjoy after school activities without caring much about household or all the chaos in family.

 

Nobody will scold her for mistakes but I was the one who take all the blames.

 

It’s sad and miserable to grow up in such environment.  Not only affect my own well-being but it damaged sibling relationships seriously. Never have close sibling relationships as many times it reminds me those betrays / laughs / gossips.

 

How about you? Are you the golden child and how you feel about this privilege?
