About This Quote

The repulsive actions of the person who abused you do not identify you. This is an important quote for those who have been abused. If a person was physically or verbally abused, they should be able to separate the actions from who they are as a person. It is a common misconception that a person can be identified by the actions of someone else. This statement is to show that actions are not an indication of who a person really is.
