It Wasn't Your Fault - An Exercise


Lis

Recommended Posts

It was my fault

1. It was my fault because I didn't lock the door

2. It was my fault because I didn't fight back enough

3. It was my fault because I didn't scream

4. It was my fault because I allowed him to do it

5. It was my fault because I wasn't able to think of a better escape plan

It wasn't my fault

1. It wasn't my fault because no one shouldn't have to feel unsafe in their own home, especially in a private village which employed security guards.

2. It wasn't my fault because I never grew up learning to use self-defense and because he was threatening to kill me with a knife.

3. It wasn't my fault because I didn't want to be stabbed with a knife and to die. All I wanted was to survive those moments.

4. It wasn't my fault because he was threatening to kill my little sister in the other room if I didn't let him.

5. It wasn't my fault because it was 2am, I was barely awake, it was dark, and I guess that was how my body and mind best responded to the situation.

Cried the whole time typing this message. It happened to me on June 23, 2021. Thanks for this group.

1. It was really my fault because I should have listened to my gut feeling

2. It was really my fault because I trusted the wrong one

3. It was really my fault because I should have tried harder to get away

4. It was really my fault because I should have fought more

5. It was really my fault because I went without seeing my bff to let her know where I’d be

6. It was really my fault because nobody knew where I had gone

 

1. It wasn't my fault because  he lied to me

2. It wasn't my fault because  he told me to trust him, he lied so that I’d go into this room

3. It wasn't my fault because  they were a group, I never stood a chance

4. It wasn't my fault because  they were a group and wouldn’t let me escape

5. It wasn't my fault because  you should be able to feel safe without having to tell your bff

6. It wasn't my fault because  they had planned it

It was my fault because:

1. It was my fault because we were in a relationship

2. It was my fault because I never said no

3. It was my fault because I kissed him back

4. It was my fault because it was my idea to go downstairs alone

5. It was my fault because I should've known better

 

It wasn't my fault because:

1. It wasn't my fault because consent still needs to be given, it shouldn't be assumed even in a relationship

2. It wasn't my fault because he was older and stronger than me and I tried to pull his hand away, but couldn't, and my body froze as a result, which is a normal response. I also was scared of making my family know about what was happening upstairs

3. It wasn't my fault because I didn't consent to anything more than kissing

4. It wasn't my fault because I trusted him to be alone with him, and he broke that trust

5. It wasn't my fault because I was young, and doing the best I could
