Victim Blaming or Personal Accountability?

Ngl, this was a difficult video to make. I share my personal story of being in a DV relationship. There were so many times while I was editing this that I cringed at my own actions or inactions. That I regretted decisions. That I felt stupid, embarrassed, and ashamed. But, that was kinda the point of this video. Instead of just condemning people who ask, "Why didn't you just leave?" I try to break down the more nuanced reasons why people victim blame. IG ➜ https://instagram.com/bri_the_womanne...
