The Whole Family Will Hate the Scapegoat!

This is what most believers are up against. As we assert our beliefs in Christ, making the decision to obey Christ, we are going to see more family rejection. We are told by many writer, the observation that there is an increase in narcissism in our culture. Most of them are seculars who see what is going on but don't realize that what they are seeing is written in God's Word as well as not really knowing what to do with it.

2 Timothy 3:1-5
"3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, [a]haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of [b]godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."

"Denial is at the root of narcissism, and at the core of the narcissistic family. Any exposure is a threat to the survival of the system, and must be addressed accordingly. ACoNs who raise any concerns about the family's dysfunctions report being ostracised by the whole family, including siblings they thought they were close to. Criticism, or any introspection, is perceived as an attack, and the response of the family is to attribute a fault to whomever makes the criticism. In other words, if you call the family crazy, the whole family will call you crazy back."
