BEING A VICTIM:

~

It's okay to be doing okay and to feel like our life is manageable.

Many of us have learned, as part of our survival behaviors that the way to get
the attention and approval we want is to be victims.

We may have learned this from living and associating with people who also
learned to survive by being a victim.

We are not victims. We do not need to be helpless and out of control to get
the attention and love we want.

We can get the love we want and need by only owning our power. We learn that
the people we are leaning on are not holding us up. They are standing next to
us.

We all have bad days, days when things are not going the way we'd like, days
when we have feelings of sadness and fear. But we can deal with our bad days
and negative feelings in ways that reflect self-responsibility rather than
victimization.
