No one else in my family would ever tell the truth about how many family members were rejected—two of them homeless until they passed.

One of them was our town’s “bag lady.” She was my grandmother’s cousin, I think.

My grandmother and mother hated her. 🧵

This is one of those traits about myself that very much developed under pressure, but it turned out that I could be grateful for it. 🧵

If you’ve been the "black sheep" or the target of gaslighting, this episode is your survival guide to reclaiming your narrative. 🛡️ Why Are You the Target? 🎯 Scapegoating isn't about your flaws—it's about their fear.

Learn how to call out the game while it’s being played to disrupt the cycle. - Probing Questions: Shift the spotlight back to the source. We share the exact questions to ask that expose psychological projection in real-time. 🪞 - Setting Firm Boundaries: Stop the emotional exhaustion by establishing limits that protect your peace and reinforce your self-worth.

I’d say those are often chronically dysregulated people who have become accustomed to the regulation that other people provide for them. 🧵

I'm curious to know what your thoughts are about people who seem to prefer the dysregulated version. Ya know the ones who only want to connect when you're wired, fried, frazzled?

This is a compassionate, clarifying framework for understanding children as truth‑tellers. When you learn to read the signals, you stop asking “What’s wrong with them?” and start asking “What is the system showing me through them?” #ProblemChild #FamilySystems #Episkevology #Protyus
The Child Who Sees the System
Why Their “Misbehavior” Makes More Sense Than You Think Problem Child reframes childhood behavior in a way that feels both startling and relieving: the child isn’t the problem — the child is the diagnostic. Tantrums, defiance, clinginess, lying, aggression, withdrawal, overwhelm… these aren’t random explosions or moral failings. They’re precise readouts of the relational field, signals that something in the system is out of alignment.
