Reply #59: You are absolutely right to lay some blame on those who abused you. [View All]

[Zuiderelle]

I lay blame on my father for the insecurities and difficulties I have as a result of his physical and emotional abuse, which led to me being a child who was tormented and abused by my peers as well. It doesn't change the fact that I had to confront my own problems as an adult and work to change myself, but there is NOTHING wrong with recognizing that there are others to blame for what has happened to us. In fact, it is HEALTHY to do so, so that you can understand them and put them away.

:hug: You sound very level-headed and I hope for your continued healing and happiness. You're already a long way on that path at such a young age.
