*On Vacation. Go Away!*
I found a psych evaluation my school district did when I was in high school and a lot of things that they wrote down was either inaccurate and out of context because they never asked me to explain some of the stuff told to them by a woman that made stuff up about me often or made to seem like I was the reason for it. They even blamed me for needing to be put into the adaptive gym class after I kept being assaulted for months in the locker room and I was terrified of going to to class. I get assaulted and yet it’s my fault for naturally being terrified of gym class and not wanting to participate out of fear anything I said or did might add fuel to the fire and cause the assault to happen even more? I’m definitely showing this to my therapist the next time we meet so she can fully understand the depth of trauma I experienced in high school.
It also angers me whenever people start blaming victims of any type of abuse or assault on them and not the perpetrator. I never asked to be assaulted by just walking down the hall to get to class or for having to turn around to get into my locker to get my belongings. Do you think I really wanted to be assaulted by doing those things? Blaming the victim causes many negative behaviors as a result of feeling so ashamed of being blamed for something that the victim didn’t even want to happen.
