My family of origin had a number of myths that basically amounted to how utterly awful I was. These stories were not, actually, true..., but there was no way I could plead another version, because they were all so fond of the Official Version that had me as Teh Bad.
It really hurt, and it even hurts now- 30+ years later- when i think about it. It participates a lot in my nightmares, even now.
Still, when I am awake... well, they're the ones missing out because we're not in contact. I am, in fact, a pretty cool person with a lot to offer, and since they'd rather suck up to my nasty mother- well, fuck them; they deserve the nastiness they get from her.
