“The Black Sheep” is the role of the undesirable person.
This individual is usually saddled with all the blame and wrongdoing.
Issues, like addiction, abuse, poor relationships, financial woes, or anything else that is deemed to be painful, difficult, shameful, forbidden, or unpleasant, is often heaped onto “The Black Sheep.”
It’s decided that it is their fault.
And that poor soul is often shunned, bullied, and rejected; there is often no support for this individual. Cast as the role of “The Black Sheep,” he or she often must figure out life by themselves.
Many times, fully ostracized by toxic family system dynamics, this person leaves the family. Perhaps, he or she tried repeatedly for years, or decades, to “hang in there,” but, eventually, there is a breaking point.
Therefore, this person flees. They need to leave. They often do not want to leave.
Safety, health issues, and the demoralizing “unwanted” messages received by “The Black Sheep” become unbearable, and even dangerous.
“The Black Sheep” role is the lie for that individual.
Don’t get me wrong. The hellish, painful experiences are real; that is not the lie.
But the very role, one of constraint, agenda, and manipulation, IS.
Inherently, no human being is to be cast in “The Black Sheep.”
Each person, inherently, is a unique individual, created and loved by The Most High.
“The Lie” is assigned to “The Black Sheep,” with the negative connotations, as being tainted, dirty, undesirable, defective, unwanted, always at fault, and wrong.
Shame is usually attached to those assigned associations.
And, unfortunately, for “The Black Sheep,” it can eventually play out as a self-fulfilling prophesy. Poor behaviors and choices can result, due to negative self-esteem.
Unfortunately, a person can “live down” to other peoples’ negative view of them.
“The Black Sheep” believes the lie of who they were told they were.
