Tragically, like other victims of abuse, she sometimes feels that she deserved the abuse, that she was a bad person, that she didn’t measure up, that she could never make it on her own in life.
Do you ever feel like you deserved the humiliation or condemnation that Teen Mania heaped on you?
Well, you didn’t!
It’s not your fault. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You have nothing to fear. You have no need to feel guilty.
It is absolutely not your fault that you were mistreated, lied to, taken advantage of, abused or otherwise exploited.
You were just caught in a damaging system – mistreated by other interns that were given very bad advice and way to much power and by staff that cared more about preserving their own egos and reputation than about really caring for God’s people.
So the question is, do you really believe this? Or do you still think you did something to deserve your abuse?
