Summary
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. Listen in as Lisa A. Romano the Breakthrough Life Coach helps you understand how to honor yourself as a truthteller turned family scapegoat.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast. |
| 0:07.0 | My name is Lisa A. Romano. I am a life coach, best-selling author, YouTube vlogger, |
| 0:12.0 | meditation teacher, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse. |
| 0:17.0 | I am a believer in the power of an organized mind. |
| 0:21.6 | My aim is to help people learn what it means to live above the veil of consciousness |
| 0:25.9 | rather than living a reactive life. |
| 0:29.3 | May your heart feel blessed, your mind feel expanded, and your spirit find hope |
| 0:33.8 | as you spend time with me here at the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast. |
| 0:38.5 | Today we're going to be talking about the truth teller and why it's so painful to be the |
| 0:43.7 | one that tells the truth in a family system. So truth tellers are often, well they often end up |
| 0:48.9 | being the scapegoat in a family system. The scapegoat is the member of the family that carries the wounds of the |
| 0:56.1 | family or carries the shame of the family. What I mean by that is that when you come from a toxic |

| 1:26.0 | or that there is an affair happening in the house. |
| 1:28.7 | We don't talk about these things in our family. It's like hush, hush. We don't talk about |
| 1:34.0 | when we see people being abusive in the family. We're not allowed to talk about that. So in a toxic |
| 1:41.1 | family system, basically the issue is denial, right? It's there. It's the elephant in the |
| 1:46.2 | room, but the adults in the room don't know how to handle it. They don't have the life skills or |
| 1:51.6 | the coping skills to deal with it, to face it head on. They wouldn't know what to do. If they did face it, |
