Who will be the scapegoat this time?
In certain households, such as Tim’s, the scapegoat position rotated, allowing his father to deliver his message loud and clear:
“Failure was not an option. It was treason to speak back. You either did what he said or you were ignored and scapegoated if you didn’t do what he said. The son who didn’t listen became the scapegoat before he changed his ways and “got the memo,” at which point the next slacker became the goal. This continued throughout my youth and the first decade or two of adulthood before I eventually set sail.”
