Why were you the scapegoat?

My story as a scapegoat myself: Before my Nmother had children, she wanted to have a son. Out of me and my 3 siblings, i'm her only son. But i was the soft, empathetic kind of boy, which made me the scapegoat. And one of my sisters, who is more competitive and boyish than me, is the golden child.

Other scapegoats, what were the reasons why your Nparent/s made you the scapegoat?
