Black Sheep Versus the Golden Child in Family Dynamics. [Ep.776]

Live Your True Life Perspectives with Ashley Berges

Are you the black sheep or the golden child of your family? Your role within the family can significantly shape your experiences and relationships. What parental dynamics led to this structure? As we age, how does this dynamic change? As young children, we often don’t realize whether we are the golden child or the black sheep, but over time, the division between siblings grows, along with feelings of resentment. The parents create this division to make them look better in front of others, bragging about the golden child's accolades. Join me as I discuss the lasting impacts of being labeled the black sheep or the golden child and how painful this can be, especially for those stuck in between, as well as what happens when the black sheep becomes more successful than the golden child.
