This is how you find your way with it.

Sometimes it can feel like you have a sign in your back that says: "Go ahead, use me. Abuse me. Take your best shot."

After more awful things happen, it's understandable why you might think it's your fault and that you're the problem.
It's not your fault. You are not the problem.
