A large part of this is the fact that there is a communication problem since the same WORDS are often used by the aggressor who tells his victim, "You need to stop playing the victim." When the aggressor uses the same words, he means, "She is only pretending to BE a vicitm but "really" I have done nothing. So the group involved agrees with the aggressor and repeats the same instruction to the victim, unaware of the true meaning from the victim's point of view. People who have not been victimized in this sort of way rarely understand what is actually going on in the relationship.That lack of understanding leaves the victim alone in isolation and at the aggressor's mercy more often than not.Patricia Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242005769500743440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14497031.post-1162591737797546562006-11-03T17:08:00.000-05:002006-11-03T17:08:00.000-05:00Pat,I wish most people knew or cared about this......Pat,<BR/>I wish most people knew or cared about this...my experience as a woman and mother is that you just deal with it and don't play the victim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
