Fault and blame = no power.

That's exactly how I feel.
Responsibility - Power = Blame
My sense of responsibility for other people's actions and feelings, along with my powerlessness over them, leads to me being at fault. I suffered consequences for my mother's marriage, and thus I must have been responsible for the situation. But there was and is nothing I can do about it. So what is holding me to it? What do you think may be holding me to this belief? I'll find out on my own, but I could really use some help right now if you have it to give from your wealth of experience in this department.
