Breaking Free: Healing from the Pain of Abuse
A victim, according to Webster's dictionary, is a person who has been attacked, injured, robbed, killed, cheated or fooled by someone else or harmed by an unpleasant event. We can be victimized by one person, several people, even by an institution or an organization. A key element in all victimization is the feeling of powerlessness or helplessness, as you cannot defend yourself in that moment.
