A post to my page today….
I see ‘victim blaming/victim shaming’ everywhere.
Victims/survivors of abuse, sexual violence, domestic violence, are often told in society they are ‘acting the victim’ – which is disgusting, ignorance, uneducated in trauma psychology, abusive and re-traumatising.
Abuse – is ALWAYS the responsibility, fault, blame of the abuser and they made choices to abuse.
There may be some reasons why people end up abusers, but they are never an excuse to harm another human being.
Too many excuses are made for abusers.
Victims/survivors of abuse, are NEVER responsible for the abuse someone else made a decision to inflict.
Victim blaming – is further abuse.
