For some reason I never felt like a victim when things happened all my life. I remember thinking I didn't like a situation or how a person was treating me but my mind always went to figuring out what I needed to do to change the situation. My parents were pretty dysfunctional so I didn't learn that behavior from them. Guessing it was a nature not nurture thing with me. Even in grade school, my parents had no clue how I learned to stand up for myself.
I did feel trapped in my bad marriage at the end but it was more because I hadn't come across a working solution (until I did & acted immediately) I have always been a problem solver even when I was right in the middle of a trauma. It effected me but I took action to end the situation. Maybe I just always had self confidence in my problem solving abilities & knew once I had the solution I could end the situation. I found after awhile that many people didn't even try to mess with me. Even my (EX) husband knew that, but he was just stupid & now really is destroying his own life....glad I didn't stay
