I know of one person I respect highly (NOT a victim blamer or abuser) who really likes Byron Katie, so I can't totally discard everything she says. It might be useful for some people, for example, those who are rigidly over attached to their own points of view.

For those of us who already question our own realities too much, I feel like this stuff could be poison. And the idea that child abuse was chosen is quite bizarre. Kids act like kids, which yes can be very challenging behavior, but the point is that adults are supposed to protect them regardless. If a kid tried to cross the street without looking, and the adult with them let them do it, would anyone say the kid "chose" to be hit by a car? Or would they wonder what the hell the adult was thinking?
