When Jealous Moms Gossip, Boundaries Become Survival (Bonus Episode 25)

In many toxic families, the scapegoat becomes the emotional and psychological sponge for everyone else’s dysfunction, pain, and projection. It’s a trauma-inducing role that is often misunderstood, dismissed, or mischaracterized as “drama.” But for those who live it, scapegoating is a profound and persistent form of psychological abuse.

One of our bravehearts, LaToya Rice, shares her personal experience as the scapegoated twin in a toxic family system. Our conversation explored the depth of this role and the toll it takes—not only on mental health but also on a person’s ability to form identity, trust themselves, and find safety in the world.
