Projection

Have you ever noticed that when someone can’t face their own faults, they make you the problem instead? It’s easier for them to paint you as the villain than to confront their mistakes or take responsibility for their actions. By shifting the blame onto you, they create a convenient distraction from the truth they’ve been avoiding.

But no matter how much they deflect or twist the narrative, it doesn’t change the reality of their behavior. Their actions are a reflection of their own inner struggles and insecurities—not a measure of your worth or who you are.

You don’t have to carry the weight of their unresolved issues. Those burdens belong to them, not you.

Always remember that when someone struggles to acknowledge their own faults, they often resort to shifting blame onto others, making them the scapegoat instead of facing their shortcomings.

By casting you as the antagonist, they avoid the discomfort of confronting their mistakes or taking accountability for their actions. This tactic serves as a convenient escape from the truths they refuse to face.

Yet, despite their attempts to deflect or distort reality, the truth of their behavior remains unchanged. Their actions stem from their internal battles and insecurities, reflecting their struggles—not defining your worth or identity.

You are not responsible for carrying their unresolved issues; those burdens belong solely to them, not to you.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
