The Question Of Why Me?

Abused, Empowered, Survive, Thrive has an entry on their web site about the question of "why me"?

Why Me?Sooner or later every one asks the question, "Why did it happen to me ?"I struggled with that question for years until I found understanding therapists. Lets get some things straight before we go on to look at this question deeper. Your abuser will no doubt of made you feel that the abuse happened because it was your fault in some way. In asking the above question, you are trying to find out what you did wrong. The ONLY thing that you did wrong was to believe your abuser, and whoever that was LIED to you, and USED you. Other than that you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I know that putting it that simply won't be good enough for you yet, so I shall try to explain the answer a little better if I can. Hopefully the simple answer will be enough for you one day soon.

It is such a simple, yet, powerful question. It can be distracting and irritating. At times, it is a good question. Other times, it can become an obsession. But, is it a good question?
