SCAPEGOATED
You Were Never The Problem: The Hidden Truth About Narcissistic Family Systems, Emotional Survival, and Finding Yourself on the Other SideBy Lynn NicholsRecorded TrackLength5h 54m
About this audiobook
You were chosen because you were dangerous to their carefully constructed lies. Not because you were broken — because you saw too clearly, felt too deeply, and refused to go along with the fiction.
If you grew up absorbing blame that was never yours, silenced when you tried to speak, told your version of events was the problem — this book was made for you.
Inside you will find:
Why you were selected as the family target
The roles that kept the system running against you
What chronic stress and trauma did to your developing mind and body
Why speaking out brought more harm instead of help
Why the healing road has felt so unglamorously alone
The invalidation was not accidental. It was structural. And the loneliness of trying to heal with no one believing you, no one standing in your corner — that was structural too.
Not because something is wrong with you. Because something was done to you — and the world was not built to believe you. But this book was.
