Gingrich the Newt's a disgrace to the name,
When true newts see him they feel so ashamed,
He's the black sheep of the newt family,
The one rotten fruit on the newt family tree!

"There's one in every family, sire. Two in mine, actually. And they always manage to ruin special occasions."
—Zazu to Mufasa, The Lion King (1994)
BoJack: So, what, you're like the black sheep?
Diane: No, Gary's the black sheep. He's adopted. I'm just the member of the family that nobody likes.
— BoJack Horseman, "Live Fast, Diane Nguyen"
"Also, there's no way I was adopted. I'd already checked."
— Erica narrating, Hating Alison Ashley
You never fitted in – you were a piece from another puzzle. You came to revel in your family's disappointment. Their disapproval was a trophy; their condemnation a commendation. Why did they resent you?
For your successes. That which you deemed a virtue, they deemed a vice. What you adored, they despised. The things they revered, you mocked. You were a stranger to the people who knew you best.
Alternatively...
For your failures. What a disappointment you were. And how often and lengthily they informed you of it. But the things that mattered to them were unimportant to you. You would find your own path.
