We ask too much of survivors. We ask them to bear the burden of standing up to and fixing a broken abusive system all by themselves. Then we tell them that healing is their responsibility and if they don’t heal, they will bleed on others. Then they are responsible for helping others. All I ask is Why?

Yeah you’re actually right, I think we should be more compassionate towards survivors (and everyone and everything actually.) However, as a survivor myself. I had to understand that healing was necessary to life a serene life. But yes, often, victimes are blamed whereas culprits aren’t…
If you are a survivor, take your time and treat yourself with kindness. You deserve it.
