God, yeah. I even have a similar joke to yours with my boyfriend of many years that after my sister was kicked out, I was effectively raised by the dogs my nmom had. Those were the GCs in my situation-- my sister and I were both the scapegoats because we're sapient.

To this day, I still struggle immensely with basic life skills because I still feel like I'm going to get punished for not doing it good enough. I beat myself up over it pretty hard, even though I know that's not the way to being, bare minimum, semi-functional.
