WELCOME TO
THE SCAPEGOAT CLUB
with Chess Dugas
Navigating Family Struggles Together

Welcome—you’ve found your people. The Scapegoat Club is for anyone trying to survive, make sense of, or step away from toxic family dynamics. This is a space to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.
You don’t have to go through it alone. We’re in this together.

Welcome to the Club
The Scapegoat Club was born from my own journey with a dysfunctional family. I started this YouTube community to help people connect with others who feel alone, confused, hurt, or unworthy while navigating difficult family dynamics.
​
Since launching the Club, I’ve trained as a therapist specializing in complex trauma from relational wounds. More and more individuals are reaching out to share their experiences of estrangement and family struggles.
​
I aim to speak authentically, fairly, and kindly about this complex and often divisive topic. While it can be deeply painful, I believe it’s essential to address it. Keeping toxic or abusive relationships hidden won’t heal the wounds or break the cycle.
​
I hope you find peace, safety, comfort, and community here, as well as in my YouTube videos.
​
Wherever you are on your journey, be proud of your resilience. Give yourself the time, space, kindness, and patience to move toward a brighter future.
​
Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being part of your story.
​
Much love,
Chess xx
