"Some of us were raised to question everything in a time when children were seen and not heard and to do as they were told, that was rare at that time. If you are here telling everyone that they did it to themselves then you are either still in it or one of the perpetrators."
One of my parents taught me to question and to be proud of my thinking and reasoning abilities, and to speak up for myself. The other once spanked me because my voice could be heard from outdoors. She said that, "I had a voice that carried a country mile." She is also the one who got involved in the Walk. I understand that she was exposing her own conditionings much more than she was exposing a problem in me. But that type of thinking is decidedly unhelpful to victims. :(
