I think every human needs some time to feel like a victim. That is – the state of being a child.
Our caregivers rescue us children with differing degrees of success, or we as children end up rescuing them. Sometimes we don’t have a chance to be children ourselves, and then out of necessity the victimhood state comes out in our “adult” years as we encounter more challenges and complexity in the world. In this case that our caregivers did not rescue us, either they believed in some sort of “tough love” philosophy of child-rearing, or they simply did not notice we need rescuing, or were unable to recognize the need and/or do the rescuing because of their own emotional immaturity.
In the opposite case, our caregivers were relatively skilled at rescuing us and teaching us tools to rescue ourselves, and we gradually overcome the need to feel the victim, freeing us to be empowered adults.
