Introduction
They have the feeling that they have been cast out of the family. They feel they are not accepted by the family; maybe they are tolerated a little bit, but not really belonging to the core of the family. This feeds a growing bitterness and anger. On the other hand they still feel that they should back-up the family. This duality is very strong. In the end their bitterness can lead to talking about the dirt in the family, telling everyone the shameful things and even publishing them in newspapers or books.
