I think they are all difficult roles. I was, and still am, the scapegoat in my family. I've worked very hard at not taking it personally anymore.

My brother is a combination of the hero and the mascot. He has put himself in a pressure cooker for years as an over-achiever, and had his first heart attack at age 40. He hasn't slowed down yet.
