Rather than actually coming together to look at the dysfunction, it&#8217;s easier to point at one individual and make them the problem. The fact that his siblings seem to have blocked him based on what he said could be an indicator that he is being scapegoated within the family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">He added that he is convinced something &#8220;catastrophic&#8221; has happened between the family for this to happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t think anybody goes no contact for no reason.
