On todays episode we’re going to talk about victim blaming, victim blaming is generally frowned upon in todays society as a result of human evolution, however people that engage in this kind of behavior are still out there so I just wanted to touch on this to make sure the victims of wrongdoing don’t feel shame for someone else's intolerable behavior.

It’s never your fault, you can’t control anyone or anything outside of yourself.
