Yeah sure.
I think it’s important for me to notice that I dismiss this question.

Yep.Do you have a part that says, “This wouldn’t have happened if I did something?”
I see it much more clearly now. Whatever part is present right now (it’s my adult work part who just got home), agrees with you in a very easy way. And is somewhat confused about how this could have ever been an issue:You never had a choice
The choice belonged to someone who was evil
And he used his choice to harm you.
Because people don't realize being a victim is a single event and there is a start and an end. Are you a victim of everything that happens to you? No, you just fit the definition of a victim - a person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event, meaning its in the moment the event happens you are a victim. So, if you are not involved in an accident etc at this moment that means you WERE a victim of an event, but you are not a victim in this moment.To be a true victim a person must have no choice in the matter: why is victimization avoided if it gives one a “get out of jail free card”?
yep they do. The points you made beg the question… if those apply to me do they not apply to you? I don’t mean for this to become a comparison but I’m trying to understand this on a fundamental psychological level… assuming there is such a thing.
This this this a thousand times this!No, you just fit the definition of a victim - a person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event, meaning its in the moment the event happens you are a victim. So, if you are not involved in an accident etc at this moment that means you WERE a victim of an event, but you are not a victim in this moment.
Am starting to think it is a breakthrough.That sounds real progress @OliveJewel . A breakthrough?
Thank you @Freida for the encouragement. I appreciate this point particularly because I hadn’t thought about how difficult it is to MEAN what I say when it comes to the coping and hope and healing. It taps into the idea of imposter syndrome.When I can say it and MEAN it, I will be on a path to true healing
