You keep saying it's family…

But if it feels like blame, responsibility, and exhaustion 💔 It's not family. It's scapegoating, and you're the only one carrying the burden. Here are 7 signs you're doing all the emotional work: 💔 You're blamed for everyone's problems, not just your own They point to you as the reason for family dysfunction. Every conflict somehow becomes your fault, even when you weren't involved. How to heal: Recognize that healthy families don't have one "problem person." This is projection. 💔 You're expected to fix what you didn't break From family conflicts to other people's emotions, it's always on you to repair and restore peace. How to heal: You can't heal what you didn't wound. Stop accepting responsibility for others' choices. 💔 You're the only one going to therapy or doing inner work Everyone else gets to stay exactly as they are while you're constantly "working on yourself" to make the family function. How to heal: Growth should be mutual. If you're the only one changing, you're being manipulated.
