Its not rambling :) I've listened to a friend of mine on various occasions try to explain away or excuse the actions of the man who abused & hit her, saying it wasn't all his fault, she could have done or not done whatever. For her, it was almost 20 years ago, but it still affects her every day and she still thinks it was somehow her fault, and nothing anyone has been able to say has made any difference.
I'd love to pass that post on to her, but I'm afraid it will stir things up for her too much, maybe force her to face things she doesn't want to...
