Dysfunctional family relationships. Siblings are divided and alienated from each other... nephew and nieces alienation and isolated children and no real connections or unconditional love. Sibling abuse behaviour and bullying towards one sibling and family relationships are tedious and torturous.the sisters are manipulative and emotionally vulnerable. People in denial or dysfunctional or alcoholics or hierarchical family systems or narcissistic parent or narcissistic care givers or no way to write teenagers script good attempt to articulate their behaviour and experience of their families dysfunction.

Beautiful story of young boys life in a dysfunctional family, with stubborn old grandparents, a pet loyal bantam rooster, affairs, adult stubbornness, elderly members, loss of father, Xmas grief and drinking stressors, humour and Australian ocean. The characters are believable. I liked the fact it's from the twelve 12 year olds point of view and he gets to experience the dysfunction of his grandparents his grandfather he's very bullying his cousin and brother he also bully him and a friendly elderly family relative he's very kind and help him build a boat together. It also has a cute rooster. And some other characters which are very humorous and a likeable character.

There is a lot of research done on scapegoating mechanisms but there is little one can do to prevent it from happening. I do believe making victims aware that there is nothing wrong with them as helpful. In rural Australia town, a female scapegoat like the sacrificial lambs slaughtered to provide economic backbone of the Rural Community.... The female family scapegoat returns, to be further bullied, blamed, shamed, belittled, tricked, rejected, isolated and sacrificed for the benefit of power hungry rich 🤑 pillars of the community and government departments and'respectable' town LEADERS. Corruption in country town more about capitalism and patriarchy and the RICH 🤑 women DO the dirty work of patriarchy. Women betray women. Punch down on the vulnerable. Often the scapegoat is targeted by the siblings who were treated more favorably. In that way, the less favored sibling(s) becomes the punchingbag for everything that is wrong in the family. Family therapy can help but only rarely are the culprits and less affected family members willing to take part. So my focus would be on empowering the scapegoat(s).
