Sadly, I’ve always been an optimist, which probably explains my gullibility in the current situation. I keep reminding myself, out loud, that it is not my fault, and I have no reason to feel guilty or inferior.
It’s just so hard on my soul and my self-esteem. As the days pass, it will hurt less and less. Right now, I just need to rely on my logical self to sort it all out. It will all be OK. It’s just that the process is painful.
It’s not your fault. You deserve better. You are not inferior!
Fault is the wrong word. I’m sure you did nothing to deserve what you got just as I’m sure nobody’s perfect.
Most of the blame game has a built-in wish that things could have stayed the way they were. From my perspective (distant as it is) the change is better for you, even though it hurts now.
But it isn’t about you being a lesser human being. Again, from here, it just ain’t so!
