Ever taken the wrap for family because you were the black sheep

Being the black sheep of the family I often took the blame for siblings or friends wrong doings. Only thing that pissed me off was afterwards they believed their own lies and this has gone down mostly as fact in family history(Bastards:))

Whitey Bulger is considered the black sheep of his family. He was one of three children born to a poor Irish family in Boston in the 1920s. His elder brother became a Senator for Massachusetts, His younger brother became the Arch Bishop of the Boston Diocese. Whitey became a gangster but yet made more money than any of his siblings could ever dream of. He ran Boston for the best part of forty years and only felt the wrath of the law when he was in his 80s.

Who wins in the end? Whitey led the wrong life but yet he prospered the most. Who was the real gangster?

Whitey was.

Exactly, so is it sometimes right to do wrong, or did the stars just all align for Whitey. Personally as a black sheep I see it as an opportunity, I've risen beyond my parents expectations, in a legal fashion of course. Whatever about my dad (who I was always close to me) I feel good about showing my mother that, she treated me like crap when I was young.

You mean "rainbow sheep"?! Let's not get racial here folks!

the black sheep squadron did well in WW2 and no one looked down on them (apart from the cities they bombed )

Why'd you post this you have a run-in tonight or something...

if I'm that, which I am quite frankly I blame being made witness my dad get turfed out the hard way by the uncs at seven and therefor going on to be the difficult boy that never really accepted the stepfather. Out of sight at least, lads

it becomes a real issue when they suggest you are physically and mentally impaired n that. Not really, i'd just become all introverted around ya. wonder why. same uncs tried beatin it out of me, too.. oh my: further introversion. result! but we'd have some rumbles, through glass panels n that my guitar was smashed over me once.. most rock n roll that. cheers unc

But what has this got to do with flatbread sandwiches?

SunDog · 06-10-2012 7:39am

Granted with the nature of being the black sheep comes many of the negative aspects of said role in a family/group situations. Thus being placed with the responsibility of blame unjustly. This was meant to be the parts you can tell to friends over a laugh tho, not a psychologist wet dream.

I have - over religion and I (and my wife) not conforming to what we consider daftness.

The consequence of their religious indignation was they were not allowed see first child for over a year.
