Do You Believe in a Black-sheep for Every Family?

I think there are some family members who are really bad because of thousands of reasons. They maybe bad but some are for valid reasons. I have never met someone as bad as a black sheep but I don't really believe that in "all" families there are bad members or kids. In some families yes they exist because of reasons where they are at fault or because of the fault of the family members themselves. In my case I am one of the most bad members but there are more bad than me. I don't see them for their fault but I see myself for it. I said I am bad because I don't get close with them but I just give them what they need if I have enough money. Well it happens on a case to case basis. But for me I only consider a person black sheep if he or she hurts family members physically and emotionally to the point of intolerance but the victims. But if he or she does that for valid reasons then he or she is not considered a black sheep.

Before i don't believe in that, but now yes i do. I never ever thought that this will happen to one of our siblings. My brother was the considered black sheep in the family because he had committed a sin which caused him to leave his own family. It was really heart breaking when he did this to his own family. He cheated his wife, abandoned his family and lied to me and to my parents. It was really shocking and i am still crying to what he did. We did not give up hope to pray for him . I hope that he will ask God for forgiveness and we hope he will come back to his family and to us his own family who loved him.

There is usually someone in the family that is the black sheep. Sometimes this is due to their being treated differently--they were not as lovable as the others and so were not treated as well, maybe they are rebelling against this and the family name means nothing to them so they will not behave in a manner to honor it. Some people are by temperament un-ambitious or slow in emotionally maturing and behave in an irresponsible manner. Your sister sounds as if she is depressed. No wonder, with her husband leaving her before their child was born! If you can, get her to a doctor that knows psychology and get her on some medication. I'm sorry your parents have to go through this but if you help your sister get her mind right I'm sure everyone will benefit, especially the child. Too often, black sheep are the ones who have been hurt the most and nobody can see that they need some help. Good luck!

i do believe there is a black sheep in every family. however i believe black sheeps do not always have to be the only bad one i believe black sheeps can be the only good ones in the family . i see this as much as i see the bad.

i use to be the only black sheep in my familly up to about two or three years ago. i use to dress in black or bright colors alot, and listen to lots of rock, and scremo, well i got my younger brother and my cousin into it, and they started liking it, my older cousins heared some of it, and liked it, younger cousins did, my younger sister, and instantlly i wasn't the weird one anymore haha i made an army of weird kids. my family accepts all of us and our new styles, they've adapted so well, that when they go shopping they know what we like.

yes, sometime i believe that in every family thier is a block-sheep.Because in my family i consider our oldest brother as one of a block-sheep in our family.my parent have a lot of broblem to him,having a lot of trouble,hard headed,not lisening to them and the worst is always having an accident.but still we love him after all, we hope he will change.

OMG my adopted step sister is so the black sheep in our family. I don't understand what we have ever done to her to make her this way. We excepted her and she actually got more out of my mom and her dad then my brother and I ever have but she always thought we got more. She would spread things about us that were crazy lies and start fights between family members. Its amazing how different it is now that she doesn't come around. The little times she does I try and stay away from her. I think she stopped coming around b/c everyone finally figured out that she was lying to everyone and starting fights between everyone. Shes the type of person who has to put someone down to feel better about herself. She lost her brain somewhere and I feel so bad for my neice but shes turning out to be exactly like her. She once told me that I would be a cool person if I wasn't such a B**** like my mom.

Nope. We don't have one. My brothers and I are all very nice. :) We argue sometimes and feel negatively towards other members of the family once in a while, but overall, we are generally nice people. No one is a black sheep. I think the black sheep theory is more applicable in large families because then the parents might not be able to love each child the way they're supposed to.

Y es I am the black sheep of the family I am out of a family of 5 boy's 2 girl's my sister is always treated better then me when ever there's a party going on at my brother's houses they invite her I find out later last year they had a big party but I didn't know nothing about till now it was just before the kids go back to school they don't let me know anything [they stay to them selfs]. BLACK SHEEP. cd

Well, I was a black sheep for my family and to help keep what little sanity I have left I have decided that it would be best if I closed all communications with my family. I haven't seen or heard from my family since 1997 or so and I've been extremely happy because of this decision I've made. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

I can safely say my mom is the black sheep in our family. She is in a position not unlike your sister that you are speaking of, with one exception she always contributed to the household. Anyway, other than myself, the only person who treats her with any ounce of respect is my aunt, who has told me stories of their growing up together and how my grandmother (God rest her soul, just passed away a month ago), treated my mom that break my heart. I have to note my grandmother was always wonderful to me. I love my grandmother. To put it simply, my grandmother never made it a secret, not even to me, that she wished my mom was never born and it is because of that that others look down upon her, always with something to say about her. In fact that was one of the last verbal exchanges my grandmother and mom had (gram telling mom, "I wish I never had you"). I would have been devastated to hear that, but mom's response was "at least, you finally said it to my face". As far as I can tell, by what my aunt has told me, the animosity towards my mom that my grandmother, and others have always had stems from the fact that, even as a child, she is a very willful, call it as she sees it person. Now, I have complete opposite thoughts of her, and not just because she gave me life. My mom was a single mom, my dad took off when I was two. She left high school to have me, but, sometime later, got her GED. She went to business school, and started working right after. She always provided for me, was, and still is, there for me. The "black sheep" definitely do exsist. But, maybe, the person in the family who is labled that isn't necessarily deservant of it.

For me,Having a black-sheep in the family is just natural. In a family theres really considered as black-sheep.One who did all in wants in his own way Whether good or bad.They dont listen in others opinions. I Considered my only brother as one. I have 3 siblings and this brother of mine is the youngest. He does all he wants he even answer back to my parents unluckily to my mother. He thinks he is always right in fact he's not. That's why I believe in their existence just because of my brother.

I don't believe that their is a black sheep in the family because in the family we have different attitudes and behavior.Some of the family member misunderstand that behavior so tend to say that they or she is a black sheep but they don't know that they are trying hard to be good for others and for the family.Try to understand them that what you called black sheep you will whats the reason why they are like that maybe family background or the way they treat that they call black sheep.

Yes, i do believe in that. But what's there to believe? when having a black sheep in the family is the most common and normal thing in the world. My sister was the black sheep in the family. She and my mother never got along, they would always argue about many things. I used to open up with my friends about it, because it was already affecting me. I don't like the way my mother scolds at my sister, but I realized that maybe it was worth it. Because my sister was very selfish at the time. She would go out with her friends, and gets back home past 12am. Now whose parents wouldn't get mad with that? She joined mountaineering activities, and she never spoke of it to any of us. She wasn't home for 3 days during that, and all of us were really worried of course. Where in the world could my daughter be? i just mentioned a few of her ways when she was still a maiden. But now, since my sister's already married, she transformed herself from being a black sheep to a responsible mother. A mother of a pretty baby girl, she changed for the better of course.

Yes, I truly believe in every family has black sheep co'z there is no one members of the family is perfect but this black sheep you will try to help and give more advices it will become into a Lamb. Good Luck to you!

Not at all!
