This is an essential question to ask oneself if we are to free our inner spirit thus allowing ourselves to have the courage and freedom to be our true selves and not continue in life as an unhappy lost self.
Absolutely you can successfully raise an older child having been a scapegoat yourself.
Interesting question because neurodifferent (ADHD) people prefer to be independent (unlike what they were afforded in school- which was conformity- a nightmare experience for some).
I myself am a recovering codependent.
I would describe codependency as being so low in self esteem and lost to oneself that we become dependent on getting our validation externally. We are unable to validate ourselves due to some form of childhood trauma (either in the home or the social system).
In my work experience I have experienced a connection between dyslexia, dyscalculia (problem with number/maths) dysgraphia (a difficulty verbalising thoughts to the point point of being unable to express oneself, verbally or in the written word), rejection dysphoria (perhaps due to feeling different and these struggles not being diagnosed causing them not to feel good enough) and the eventual late diagnosis for some of ADHD.
Yes you definitely can very much be an empath having come from childhood trauma.

In a healthy family system the children's needs are central. In a narcissistic family system the parent's needs are the priority.
I am not sure its hate in many cases it a sense of entitlement. However the answer is YES If they are the malignant type. They pick on the vulnerable - children.
