Stop Being The Victim No One Is Going To Save You, Except You
Once a month I would get into a fight with my ex-boyfriend, and he would always say to me: “stop being a victim.” I had no idea what that meant.
All I knew is that he was an asshole. I didn’t love him and we were definitely not on the right path.
So I thought about it, did some research what the hell what a victim?
Victim mentality is an acquired personality trait in which a person tends to recognize or consider themselves as a victim of the negative actions of others, and to behave as if this were the case in the face of contrary evidence of such circumstance
also used in reference to the tendency for blaming one’s misfortunes on somebody else’s misdeeds

I was not a victim, what was he talking about. I had good reasoning for my behavior, which was not pretty. This was in the hay-day of my drinking. It was out of control, which was not helping my relationship.
