One of the most painful lessons we learn is that sharing blood doesn't guarantee love, loyalty, or protection. We often expect more from family because they're family. But Scripture reminds us that jealousy, hatred, deception, and betrayal can exist within the very relationships we expect to be safe. Family betrayal may break your heart, but it doesn't have to leave you questioning why someone who shares your blood could hurt you. God showed us long ago what human beings are capable of, even within their own families.

Many people remember Kate Gosselin from Jon and Kate Plus 8. Her son Collin has shared a very direct account of what happened behind closed doors. When someone exposes the truth about an abusive person, the easiest way to discredit them is to make people question their sanity. If they can convince others that you're unstable, delusional, or incapable of telling the truth, they don't have to answer for their own behavior. They shift the focus from what they did to what's supposedly wrong with you. It's a way to protect their reputation, control the narrative, and make sure the people around them question the person speaking up instead of questioning the abuse. #CollinGosselin #NarcissisticAbuse #Scapegoat #SmearCampaign #SitWithEdith

In families that are invested in protecting a pristine public image, the person who refuses to play along becomes a threat. They know what happens behind closed doors, and they won't pretend otherwise. That's when the narrative shifts. Suddenly, the person who speaks up is the problem. Their character is questioned, their credibility is attacked, and the family closes ranks to protect the image. That's how the scapegoat is made. #Scapegoat #NarcissisticAbuse #CollinGosselin #SmearCampaign #SitWithEdith
