Are you the oldest, middle, youngest or an only child?

I'm the youngest and I'm the scapegoat. My older sister was the golden child and my first bully.

This is interesting, it's usually the youngest who's the golden child bc the parents have their youngest kids when they're more experienced and "ready", but the eldest tends to be the "burden" or an experiment

I think my parents started developing personal problems (alcoholism, etc) *around the same time* as me being around, and the two became associated.

I have been reading about birth order theory recently.

It seems birth order has little to do with self destructive/suicidal ideation due to the inconsistency of results from all papers I was able to find.

It is still an interesting topic and does not necessarily devalue birth order's influence on other areas of psychological development.

im the youngest

i have a sister, 4 years older than me

whilst she took every decision in her life right (become a doctor in medicine, marry with a guy with a good job, two babies coming, they have a good house in a good place), I did the opposite :)

another accident here
family happiness was perfect until I came along
everyone took out their agression on me
my sister,twelve years older than me,was always mean to me
and my parents were also happy to have a scapegoat
