Victims
Realizing we have been victimized can be stunning, take our breath for a moment and quickly turn outward to righteous blame. Yet blame is only the pivot point halfway to our freedom.
If we cling to our victimization and blame and don't continue moving forward we lose the freedom, wholeness and happiness that lies on the other side of Healing. (And we secretly use the entitlement that victimhood gives us for a pass to our own bad behavior or not taking responsibility for creating the future.)
While others are responsible for victimizing/hurting us, we are the only one responsible for putting ourselves back together...healing ourselves from their abuse. It may not seem fair, but it does promote awareness and growth, if we learn. Yippee!
Healing and Forgiveness - solo journeys - are the only ways out of the past and our prisons of pain. Blame will NEVER unlock the door.
