You’re entitled to your anger. You’re entitled to your bitterness. It doesn’t make you as bad as the people who hurt you. It doesn’t make you abusive to finally lash out and snap at your abusers. It’s a recognized and common tactic for abusers to accuse their victims of being the perpetrator of the toxicity and abuse. It’s not your fault though. You aren’t as bad as them just because they finally pushed you to the breaking point.
You aren’t a bad person or a “bad victim” for your justified anger. You don’t have to carry any guilt if the final straw ended in you telling someone how they hurt you. You aren’t the bad guy for resenting the way you were treated. You aren’t deserving of it because you raised your voice or said harsh words.
You get to be upset. You get to be human.
