Trauma Victims Aren't At Fault

In year 2000, I decided to get help for mental health issues that I'd been dealing with for years. I went on medication. And I also took part in group therapy.

When I first went into group therapy, I knew that some trauma victims blaming themselves for what happened to them occurred.

But I wasn't aware of how many victims blamed themselves. Lots of them do.

I was surprised. And I also found it was odd that many people who've had something bad happen to them (or a series of bad things) thought it was their fault. And I thought it was especially strange that child rape/molestation victims thought it was their fault, even though they were only 5 years old or so when they were raped or molested.

I'm sorry, but I find it real hard to blame a trauma victim. To me, the victimizer is the bad guy, not the victim!
