In reply to Admitting someone hurt you versus whining?, posted by Racer on September 11, 2005, at 22:08:02
Hi Racer,
I remember how tough it was for you last year. I also remember thinking that it sure didn't seem like you asked for it in anyway. It still doesn't.
I struggle with accepting that I am not responsible for many bad things that have happened to me, including being abused. My T has tried so patiently to get me to stop blaming myself and allow that I didn't ask for these things to happen to me. She says she'd like to hear me say that I am not to blame for ___________.
Maybe the difference between admitting abuse and being a professional victim is understanding and accepting what you are and aren't truly to be blamed for? I obviously haven't been able to do that, but my T would say it's progress that I don't blame myself for everything single bad thing.
Progressing at my usual snail pace- Poet
