We are in this together.

Welcome to the Club
​​
The Scapegoat Club was born from my own challenging journey with a dysfunctional family. I created this YouTube community to help people connect with others who feel alone, confused, hurt, and unworthy while navigating these tough dynamics.
​
Since launching the Club, I've trained as a therapist specializing in complex trauma from relational wounds. More individuals are reaching out to share their heartbreaking experiences of estrangement and family struggles.
​
I strive to speak authentically, fairly, and kindly about this complex and often divisive topic. While it can be deeply sad, I believe it's essential to address it. Keeping toxic and 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 and allow yourself the time, space, kindness, and patience to move toward a brighter future.
Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being a part in your story.
Much love,
Chess xx
