"That's enough"
When brothers and sisters, cousins and other children in a family taunt, harass, and basically torture another child in the family and the adult says "that's enough"...it implies all that preceded the said torture was okay...
that was my childhood...until I was crying and thrashing behind the couch...all was well as I was taunted, and tortured by words...till my mother said "that's enough"
do not tell a 3 year old...sticks and stones...cause I WAS hurt by words....badly

Sounds to me as though you were the classic scapegoat.
I hope you're getting some professional help for these old and yet still potent wounds.
