Hi Heather400, I was (and still am??) the scapegoat in my dysfunctional alcoholic family. Two books that helped me understand a lot of the dynamics are:

"Toxic Parents" by Dr. Susan Forward
"When you and your Mother Can't be friends" by Victoria Secunda

I read both about 10 years ago but they are still on my shelf and I still reference them from time to time.
