Self-involved:  yes, I believe she is self-involved.  This is a natural defensive response to the typical abusive situation, where the abuser starts by chipping away at the victim's self-confidence.

Blaming those you have no control over:  ordinarily an abused individual has no control over the abusive situation until and unless he cuts off all contact with the abuser.  This is best done by faking a grand mal seizure or psychotic episode.  It is much less dangerous to break contact with an abuser when the abuser believes it was his idea in the first place.

Whiney:  I wouldn't call her whiney.  She is attempting to make sense of an irrational situation.

get over yourself
your so self involved you need to take a step back & look at yourself. See yourself as you really are take an inventory or a self evaluation, stop blaming those you have no controll over.you cannot continue to be in this self destructive attitude. think of the good you do stop focusing yourself on him he is not worth it. just my opinion, please dont take offence to what i say. I do not want to hurt your feelings,you really are a whinny person, and thats being kind,write back if you like.

I don't think any abuse victims should remain silent.
Only through telling their stories and thus empowering themselves and other victims can the world know that this abuse will not be tolerated anymore!
